Study of Neutrino Nucleus Interaction

ORAL

Abstract

Neutrino-nucleus cross sections in the GeV energy range suffer from large uncertainties, yet good knowledge of these cross sections is essential for the success of the current and next generation of neutrino experiments, particularly DUNE. In this talk, we study the impact of different assumptions in the treatment of neutrino-nucleus and neutrino-nucleon interactions. We show how the results from hadronic experiments at JLab and Mainz concerning the form factor of the nucleons will help to better determine these cross sections.
