Pion production is one of the critical interaction systematic uncertainties in neutrino oscillation measurements. Recent GiBUU development has introduced many improvements in the treatment of pion production, including the $2\pi$ background in neutrino interactions. We present a comprehensive study of charge current neutrino-induced pion production with the GiBUU model by examining the...

The SND@LHC experiment was designed to perform measurements with neutrinos produced at the LHC within the unexplored pseudo-rapidity range of 7.2 < ๐ < 8.6. Located 480 m downstream of IP1 in the unused TI18 tunnel, this compact and stand-alone experiment employs a hybrid detector system consisting of 800 kg of tungsten plates interleaved with emulsion and electronic trackers, complemented by...

The ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER) is designed to search for particles produced in the far-forward region of pp collisions at the LHC at CERN. Its primary goals are to detect high-energy neutrinos and light, feebly interacting new particles predicted by extensions of the Standard Model. Since its inception in 2022, FASER has collected close to 200/fb of data during LHC Run 3, leading to...

The poor knowledge of neutrino cross sections at the GeV scale is projected to be responsible for some of the leading sources of uncertainty in next-generation oscillation experiments. Building on the ideas and R&D from ENUBET and NuTAG, we present a proposal for the nuSCOPE experiment (see arXiv:2503.21589). nuSCOPE is a high-precision, short-baseline neutrino experiment at CERN that employs...

We present a new global analysis of nuclear PDFs in the nCTEQ approach. Building on a modern proton baseline without nuclear data, we combine and update previous separate analyses that focused on JLab neutral-current DIS, neutrino DIS and dimuon production, and the currently available LHC data, in particular on W/Z and heavy quark production. For the latter, we not only employ a data-driven...

The T2K experiment's primary off-axis near detector, ND280, has the essential role of constraining the main systematic uncertainties that affect neutrino oscillation measurements. Among the leading sources of these uncertainties are neutrino-nucleon interaction cross sections, which must be more precisely understood to fully exploit the potential of current and future long-baseline neutrino...

Understanding both neutrino and antineutrino interactions in the few-GeV regime is necessary for precision measurements of neutrino oscillations. In particular, it is crucial to study the nuclear effects that can alter final-state topology and kinematics, potentially biasing neutrino energy reconstruction. MINERvA is a high-statistics cross-section experiment designed to study such nuclear...
