Exploring Nuclear Effects in Neutrino-Nucleus Interactions Using Measurements of Transverse Kinematic Imbalance from T2K and MINERvA
read the original abstract
Predictions from widely-used neutrino-nucleus interaction event generators are compared to measurements of transverse kinematic imbalances, made by both the T2K and MINERvA experiments, to allow a joint characterisation of the nuclear physics processes responsible for some of the largest uncertainties in measurements of neutrino oscillations. The role of nucleon-nucleon correlations, initial state nucleon Fermi motion and hadronic re-interactions inside the nuclear medium are explored and areas requiring more theoretical input are identified.

Elastic hadron-nucleus scattering in neutrino-nucleus reactions and transverse kinematics measurements
Fixing an error in GENIE's elastic hadron-nucleus scattering code reduces large distortions in transverse kinematic imbalance distributions for quasielastic neutrino events while having milder effects on other observables.
