R3.00001: High energy interactions of cosmic neutrinos Invited Speaker: Mary Hall Reno Neutrinos from high energy astrophysical sources and from cosmic ray interactions with the cosmic background radiation probe energies at the limit and beyond the reach of laboratory accelerators. Different theoretical approaches to the high energy extrapolation of the neutrino cross section with nuclei will be discussed, with an emphasis on the implications of the high energy extrapolations on related particle processes.

R3.00002: Recent Results from MINERvA \newline Invited Speaker: Steven Dytman Neutrino cross sections are important both as a key component of neutrino oscillation experiments and as a way to study the axial and vector response in nuclear systems. MINERvA is a neutrino cross section experiment that has been taking data at Fermilab since 2009. The beam energy is well-matched to existing oscillation experiments such as MINOS/MINOS$+$ and NOvA and planned experiments such as DUNE. The experiment has the unique capability to measure cross sections simultaneously with hydrocarbon, iron, and lead targets. Numerous publications have provided new data for neutrino and antineutrino interactions in these targets including quasielastic, pion production, and inclusive processes. This talk will present a series of recent measurements, their relationship to oscillation experiments and to nuclear physics. \newline [Preview Abstract] |

R3.00003: What can electron scattering tell us about neutrino physics? Invited Speaker: Cynthia Keppel The interpretation of results from current and future neutrino oscillation experiments will necessitate precision descriptions of neutrino-nucleus interactions. The achievement of this goal requires a multidisciplinary effort, with nuclear physics providing input to properly constrain leading systematics. Collaboration between the electron and neutrino scattering communities has been developing to address this need. Beyond oscillation experiments, differences between electron and neutrino experiments can provide insight into nucleon and nuclear structure. This talk will highlight some recent and anticipated results from electron scattering experiments of direct relevance to neutrino data, as well as discuss some synergistic studies of interest to both communities.
