Description

With the latest generation of neutrino-nucleus scattering experiments we are now well within a precision era of neutrino interaction physics. Consequently we now find it increasingly important to develop a more detailed understanding of our nuclear targets. We propose to address this through a set of neutrino scattering measurements on a carbon target at the Tokai to Kamioka (T2K) off-axis near detector (ND280), using variables projected into the plane transverse to the beam of incoming muon neutrinos. These measurements will allow us to characterise the nuclear effects on the observables in neutrino scattering, thus providing valuable constraints on the systematic uncertainties associated with neutrino oscillation measurements.
