New measurements of neutrino-nucleus interactions in Ar

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

Neutrinos are among the least understood fundamental particles and much of their behavior remains to be explored. In order to enable experiments that are studying neutrino properties through precision measurements of neutrino oscillations, a precise understanding of what happens in an interaction of a neutrino within a nucleus is required such that predictions for the experiment can be made and observed events can be reconstructed. Several new and exciting neutrino oscillation experiments like the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) use Argon as a target nucleus, which to date is not understood theoretically and experimentally. Over the last years, first measurements of neutrino-Argon interactions have been made by ArgoNeuT and are complemented and expanded by MicroBooNE. This talk will present recent measurements and review the status of the field.
