In order to achieve the ambitious goal of characterising neutrino flavour oscillations with percent-level precision, it is critical for current and future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments to substantially reduce existing systematic uncertainties. The most impactful these uncertainties stem from the challenges of modelling few-GeV neutrino-nucleus interactions. In order to...
A substantial fraction of systematic uncertainties in neutrino oscillation experiments stems from the lack of precision in modeling the nucleus when describing the neutrino-nucleus interactions. The Spectral Function (SF) model features a distribution of momenta and removal energies of nucleons inside the nucleus within the shell-model picture, and also accounts for short-range correlations...
In order to make precision measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters, it is vital for T2K to have an accurate kinematic reconstruction of the neutrino energy. The uncertainty on this reconstruction has a variety of contributions. However for recent oscillation measurements, the missing energy in the nuclear response is a significant source of systematic uncertainty. T2K has recently...
NOvA is a neutrino oscillation experiment that has the primary goal of measuring $\delta_{CP}$, $\theta_{23}$, and $\Delta m^2_{32}$, with the potential to resolve the octant of $\theta_{23}$ and the mass ordering. NOvA seeks to achieve these goals by using a narrowband beam of muon neutrinos and muon antineutrinos with an energy peak near 2 GeV. Using this beam, NOvA observes both the...
