Neutral particle production in (anti-)neutrino interactions biases neutrino energy reconstruction, and of the neutral particles, neutron interactions in liquid argon are the least constrained by data. The mini-CAPTAIN LArTPC measured neutron interactions on argon from a neutron beam at Los Alamos National Laboratory in order to address this issue specifically. Using data from a low intensity...

MicroBooNE is an 85-ton active mass liquid argon time projection chamber located on the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The primary goal of MicroBooNE is to investigate the excess of low-energy electromagnetic events observed by the MiniBooNE experiment, and determine whether they are photon-like or electron-like. Situated on a muon neutrino beamline with a...

The Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE) will provide new insights on neutrino-nucleus interaction physics by measuring the neutron yield as a function of neutrino energy for muon-neutrino interactions with nuclei. Such insights will lead to better control of systematic uncertainties in long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments, as well as potentially improving...

Neutrino-nucleus interaction is one of the major sources of the uncertainty for neutrino oscillation experiments. The NINJA experiment aims to measure neutrino-water interactions containing low momentum secondary particles using a nuclear emulsion detector. Since nuclear emulsion has sub-micron position resolution, it allows us to observe the interaction vertices clearly, and is one of the...

Oral presentation in parallel session
Understanding of neutrino-nucleus interactions for energies around 1 GeV is of great importance to us because one of the major systematic uncertainties in current neutrino oscillation experiments comes from nuclear effects in those interactions.
The NINJA collaboration aims to study neutrino-nucleus interactions in the energy range of hundreds of MeV to a few GeV by using emulsion-based...
