Neutrino interaction model uncertainties from nuclear physics details remain a dominant systematic in oscillation analyses and will require improved modeling plus near-detector constraints to reach the precision goals of next-generation experiments.

abstract
In the study of neutrino and antineutrino interactions in the GeV regime, kinematic imbalances of the final-state particles have sensitivities to different nuclear effects. Previous ideas based on neutrino quasielastic interactions [Phys. Rev. C94, 015503 (2016), Phys. Rev. C95, 065501 (2017)] are now generalized to antineutrino quasielastic interactions, as well as neutrino and antineutrino pion productions. Measurements of these generalized final-state correlations could provide unique and direct constraints on the nuclear response inherently different for neutrinos and antineutrinos, and therefore delineate effects that could mimic charge-parity violation in neutrino oscillations.

Fixing an error in GENIE's elastic hadron-nucleus scattering code reduces large distortions in transverse kinematic imbalance distributions for quasielastic neutrino events while having milder effects on other observables.

CP-violation or Nuclear Excitation: Reviewing the Role of Neutrino Interaction Model Uncertainties on Accelerator-Based Neutrino Oscillation Measurements
Neutrino interaction model uncertainties from nuclear physics details remain a dominant systematic in oscillation analyses and will require improved modeling plus near-detector constraints to reach the precision goals of next-generation experiments.
