The SuSA Model for Neutrino Oscillation Experiments: From Quasielastic Scattering to the Resonance Region

High-precision studies of Beyond-Standard-Model physics through accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiments require a very accurate description of neutrino-nucleus cross-sections in a broad energy region, going from quasielastic scattering up to deep, inelastic scattering. In this work, we focus on the following processes: quasielastic scattering, two-particle-two-hole excitations, and the excitation of the first (Delta) and second (Roper) resonances of the nucleon. The nuclear model is fully relativistic and includes both one- and two-body currents. We compare our results with recent T2K and MicroBooNE data on carbon and argon targets, and present predictions for DUNE kinematics.

Automated summary

This work focuses on studying neutrino-nucleus reactions in accelerator experiments, including quasielastic scattering, two-particle-two-hole excitations, and resonances of the nucleon. The nuclear model used is fully relativistic and comparisons with T2K and MicroBooNE data on carbon and argon targets were made, along with predictions for DUNE kinematics.
