Description
We present the first detailed analysis of nuclear form factor uncertainties relevant for neutrino trident processes at argon-based short-baseline neutrino detectors. Accurately quantifying this uncertainty is important to perform precision Standard Model physics analyses and Beyond the Standard Model searches using neutrino tridents of all flavors, a feat which will be possible for the first time with future neutrino experiments like DUNE. Previously, such uncertainties were estimated to be $\sim 1\%$. Our work shows that the uncertainties can be as high as $\sim 10\%$ depending on the choice of parametrization, leading to a significant variation in the number of expected events. We present our results for several form factor parameterizations and discuss their impact on the experimental sensitivities. We also briefly assess the effect on the proposed FLArE experiment.
