U16.00001: Neutrino Scattering from 12C Invited Speaker: Anna Hayes Neutrino scattering cross-sections from 12C, which have been measure for pion decay-at-rest and pion decay-in-flight neutrino energies, are difficult to reproduce theoretically. In this talk I discuss the physics issues involved and show the importance of a proper treatment of the conservation of the vector current. [Preview Abstract] |

U16.00002: The MINERvA Experiment Invited Speaker: Minerba Betancourt MINERvA is a neutrino scattering experiment to make precision measurements of cross sections and investigate nuclear effects. A precise understanding of neutrino interactions is crucial for the neutrino oscillation program. Several cross sections will be presented, including pion production, kaon production as well as direct comparisons of the same process on different nuclei. Comparisons with theoretical models are reported. [Preview Abstract] |

U16.00003: Neutrino-nucleus interaction: an ab-initio perspective Invited Speaker: Alessandro Lovato Understanding of the structure and of the electroweak interactions of atomic nuclei in terms of their individual constituents is an intriguing nuclear many-body problem. I will present how the Quantum Monte Carlo community is pursuing a consistent description of the structure of atomic nuclei and their interaction with electroweak probes, providing a reliable estimate of the theoretical uncertainty of the calculation. I will also present benchmark calculations between Quantum Monte Carlo and the spectral function approach. Testing the factorization ansatz is of crucial importance, as the latter allows to combine a fully relativistic description of the interaction vertex with an accurate treatment of nuclear dynamics.
