F03.00001: Recent Results and Prospects from MINERvA Invited Speaker: Dipak Rimal Neutrino oscillation experiments depend critically on a good understanding of the effects of the nucleus in neutrino-nucleus interactions, because those effects can and do alter the observed neutrino energy spectra. The MINERvA experiment at Fermilab makes precision measurements of neutrino-nucleus interaction cross sections at a few GeV neutrino energy. Measurements with more intense and more energetic neutrino beam are currently underway. This talk will present recent results and prospects from MINERvA on neutrino scattering cross section measurements. |

F03.00002: Cross section status and needs of the LArTPC neutrino experiments Invited Speaker: Camillo unknown Mariani In this talk I will present the current status of cross section knowledge and their impacts on neutrino oscillation experiments. Both leptonic and hadronic energy reconstruction will be analyzed. I will review recent studies on impact of cross section and nuclear model uncertainties in the determination of neutrino oscillation parameters and I will present a viable way to tackle this hard problem using electron scattering data. Jefferson Lab approved and run a new argon (e,e'p) experiment in 2017 and first results were published by the E12-14-012 collaborations this year. These results will be very useful for the neutrino and nuclear theory community to model and validate models of neutrino-nucleus interactions. |

F03.00003: Electrons for Neutrinos: How electron scattering data can improve Neutrino oscillation experiments Invited Speaker: Florian Hauenstein Neutrino oscillation experiments rely on understanding the neutrino-detector interaction to determine the energy of the neutrinos and yield corrections in the detectors. Our knowledge of the neutrino-nucleus interaction will limit the accuracy of next generation neutrino experiments. Since the physics of electron-nucleus and neutrino-nucleus interactions are similar, electron scattering data can be used to test this knowledge and improve the nuclear models in neutrino event generators. |
