Multinucleon ejection model for two body current neutrino interactions
نویسنده
چکیده
A model is proposed to describe nucleons ejected from a nucleus as a result of two body current neutrino interaction. The model can be easily implemented in Monte Carlo neutrino event generators. Various possibilities to measure two body current contribution are discussed. The model can provide a help in identifying genuine charge current quasielastic events and allow for better determination of the systematic error of neutrino energy reconstruction in neutrino oscillation experiments.

Assessing the role of nuclear effects in the interpretation of the MiniBooNE low-energy anomaly
We study the impact of the effect of multinucleon interactions in the reconstruction of the neutrino energy on the fit of the MiniBooNE data in terms of neutrino oscillations. We obtain some improvement of the fit of the MiniBooNE low-energy excess in the framework of two-neutrino oscillations and a shift of the allowed region in the sin2θ-Δm plane toward smaller values of sin 2θ and larger val...
متن کاملInclusive and pion production neutrino-nucleus cross sections
We analyze the experimental data on the inclusive double-differential cross section by neutrinos charged current, measured by T2K, with the same model which was successful for the MiniBooNE quasielastic cross sections. As in our previous analysis the multinucleon component is needed in order to reproduce the data. For the total cross section, our evaluation is smaller than the SciBooNE data abo...
متن کاملLepton mixing matrix in standard model extended by one sterile neutrino
We consider the simplest extension of the standard electroweak model by one sterile neutrino that allows for neutrino masses and mixing. We find that its leptonic sector contains much less free physical parameters than previously realized. In addition to the two neutrino masses, the lepton mixing matrix in charged current interactions involves (n−1) free physical mixing angles for n generations...
متن کاملMany–Body Corrections to Charged–Current Neutrino Absorption Rates in Nuclear Matter
Including nucleon–nucleon correlations due to both Fermi statistics and nuclear forces, we have developed a general formalism for calculating the charged–current neutrino–nucleon absorption rates in nuclear matter. We find that at one half nuclear density many–body effects alone suppress the rates by a factor of two and that the suppression factors increase to ∼5 at 4 × 1014 g cm−3. The associa...
متن کاملCorrelation between the Charged Current Interactions of Light and Heavy Majorana Neutrinos
The evidence for neutrino oscillations implies that three neutrino flavors (νe, νμ, ντ ) must have different mass states (ν1, ν2, ν3). The most popular idea of generating tiny masses of νi is to introduce three heavy Majorana neutrinos Ni (for i = 1, 2, 3) into the standard model and implement the seesaw mechanism. In this approach the neutrino mixing matrix V appearing in the charged current i...
