The MINERvA experiment, located in the NuMI beamline at Fermilab, is a dedicated neutrino scattering experiment. That main goal is make high precision measurements of neutrino interaction cross sections in the 1 to 20 GeV energy range, to support current and future oscillation experiments. MINERvA also provides information about the structure of protons and neutrons, and the dynamics that...

SBND (Short-Baseline Near Detector) is a 112 ton liquid argon TPC neutrino
detector under construction in the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beam.
Together with MicroBooNE and ICARUS-T600 detectors, SBND will search for short baseline neutrino oscillations in the 1 eV$^2$ mass range. SBND will also perform detailed studies of the physics of neutrino-argon interactions, thanks to a data sample of...

This talk presents studies of pion scattering on liquid argon (LAr) with the LArIAT experiment. Pion scattering cross-sections on LAr are an important input to models of neutrino scattering used by current and future LAr neutrino experiments, such as MicroBooNE, SBND, and DUNE. LArIAT is a small LAr time projection chamber (LArTPC) in an instrumented test beam at Fermilab. The precise...

Neutrino Monte Carlo generators are the single interface between theory and experiment and, as such, they are an essential ingredient in any attempt to connect neutrino data with the answers to fundamental physics questions. GENIE is the world's most widely-used neutrino Monte Carlo generator. Indeed, its physics model is employed by nearly all current and near future experiments.
A key...

Understanding the structure and the electroweak interactions of atomic nuclei in terms of their individual constituents is an intriguing nuclear many-body problem. In addition, precise measurements of neutrino oscillations require a quantitative understanding of neutrino-nucleus interactions. I will show how quantum Monte Carlo allows to consistently describe the structure of atomic nuclei and...

Present and future generations of accelerator-based neutrino-oscillation experiments use nuclei as targets, therefore, a good understanding of neutrino-nucleus processes is essential to reduce systematic errors in the oscillation analyses. In addition to that, since monoenergetic neutrino beams are not available, the theoretical models have to be able to describe all possible reaction channels...

We summarize our recent progress in the description of charged-current neutrino-nucleus interaction in the GeV region within the SuSAv2-MEC approach, a fully relativistic model based on the analysis of electron-nucleus scattering data and recently improved with the inclusion of Relativistic Mean Field theory effects.
In particular, we discuss the weak excitation of two-particle-two-hole...

In order to develop a reliable model for neutrino-nucleus interaction, one has to account for various nuclear effects which go beyond Fermi gas picture. In this talk I will present a recent study of neutrino-nucleus inclusive reactions at low and intermediate energies where in medium modifications are introduced in terms of the hole and particle semi-phenomenological spectral functions (SFs)....

Charged-current quasi-elastic scattering is a particularly interesting interaction to understand. Not only is it a key signal process for oscillation experiments, but its relatively clean signature makes it an ideal channel to study multi-nucleon effects in the target nucleus. Over the past few years, Fermilab's MINERvA experiment has produced several studies of quasi-elastic scattering using...

Precise knowledge of the neutrino neutral current quasielastic interaction cross section is important for several physics searches at Super-Kamiokande. For example, it is necessary to understand the background accurately in searches for supernova relic neutrinos and dark matter. At the T2K experiment the cross section has been measured but systematic errors are large. This is because neutrino...

The nuSTORM facility will provide $\nu_e$ and $\nu_\mu$ beams from the decay of low energy muons confined within a storage ring. The instrumentation of the ring, combined with the excellent knowledge of muon decay, will make it possible to determine the neutrino flux at the \%-level or better. The neutrino and anti-neutrino event rates are such that the nuSTORM facility serving a suite of...
