Poster Neutrino Interactions Poster session 2

Speaker

Joshua Barrow (The University of Minnesota)

Description

The ~300T NOvA Near Detector (ND) utilizes segmented liquid scintillator to reconstruct interacting neutrinos arriving from the NuMI Beamline at Fermilab. Given NuMI's intensity and the ND's relatively short baseline, NOvA has recorded some of the world's highest statistics for neutrino interactions around ~2GeV, in great similarity to the forthcoming DUNE experiment. This energy regime is replete with resonant interactions, which will form the plurality of final states in DUNE. NOvA seeks to to empower the community with measurements of processes for both semi-exclusive and semi-inclusive charged pion production across muon kinematics and pion angle via single-and-multidifferential neutrino scattering cross sections. This poster will review current progress across several related analyses, and look forward to future results.
