[Tufts-Nu] Neutrino seminar, Thursday 1:30pm

[Jeremy Wolcott <jeremy wolcott tufts edu>]

Hi everyone!

With apologies for the short timescale, the LBL neutrino group will be hosting a neutrino seminar on Thursday this week at 1:30pm in Room 310.  (The speaker is leaving Boston on Saturday and this was the best opportunity we could find.)  Details are below.  Though I recognize that many (most) of you probably will not be able to attend given how little notice you've received, please come if you can and are interested!

Title: 2p-2h Cross-Section Systematics in DUNE

    Abstract:
      For the operation of precision neutrino experiments, the
      understanding of neutrino interactions with matter is a
      preconditioned requirement for all detections and measurements of
      neutrinos. The largest uncertainties in estimating
      neutrino-nucleus interaction cross sections arise from the
      incomplete understanding of neutrino-nucleus interactions. In the
      study of neutrino oscillations and nuclear scattering processes,
      obtaining an interaction model with associated uncertainties is of
      substantial interest for the neutrino physics community. This talk
      presents studies of simulated CC 2p-2h interactions, in which a
      neutrino interacts with a bound pair of nucleons. This interaction
      mode is very poorly constrained by current data. A comparison of
      three leading CC 2p-2h models is presented, along with a number of
      uncertainty parameters that have been implemented to account for
      model-to-model discrepancies in the DUNE oscillation analysis.
