论文摘要

NOVA中微子振荡实验的两探测器设计,其中两个功能相同的检测器暴露于强烈的中微子束,有助于取消横截面不确定性的领先顺序效应。但是,对中微子相互作用横截面的有限知识仍然引起当前振荡测量中一些最大的系统不确定性。我们展示了中微子相互作用的当代模型与NOVA的数据差异,这与其他实验中看到的差异一致。提出了对精神中微子相互作用模型的调整,以改善与我们的数据一致的一致性。我们还描述了这些模型上的系统不确定性,包括使用NOVA靠近检测器数据的新开发程序的多核互动的不确定性。

The two-detector design of the NOvA neutrino oscillation experiment, in which two functionally identical detectors are exposed to an intense neutrino beam, aids in canceling leading order effects of cross-section uncertainties. However, limited knowledge of neutrino interaction cross sections still gives rise to some of the largest systematic uncertainties in current oscillation measurements. We show contemporary models of neutrino interactions to be discrepant with data from NOvA, consistent with discrepancies seen in other experiments. Adjustments to neutrino interaction models in GENIE that improve agreement with our data are presented. We also describe systematic uncertainties on these models, including uncertainties on multi-nucleon interactions from a newly developed procedure using NOvA near detector data.
