We present a set of new generalized kinematic imbalance variables that can be measured in neutrino scattering. These variables extend previous measurements of kinematic imbalance on the transverse plane, and are more sensitive to modeling of nuclear effects. We demonstrate the enhanced power of these variables using simulation, and then use the MicroBooNE detector to measure them for the first time. We report flux-integrated single- and double-differential measurements of charged-current muon neutrino scattering on argon using a topolgy with one muon and one proton in the final state as a function of these novel kinematic imbalance variables. These measurements allow us to demonstrate that the treatment of charged current quasielastic interactions in GENIE version 2 is inadequate to describe data. Further, they reveal tensions with more modern generator predictions particularly in regions of phase space where final state interactions are important.

Signal selection and model-independent extraction of pionless charged-current muon neutrino cross section using double-differential kinematic imbalance observables on carbon and oxygen with the T2K experiment
First joint C/O double-differential νμ CC0πNp cross sections in δpT–δαT and pN–cosθμ show current generators fail to describe the data.

Search for an Anomalous Excess of Single Photons in the MicroBooNE Neutrino Experiment
MicroBooNE observes no significant excess of neutral-current Delta radiative decay single photons, which disfavors enhanced-Delta explanations of the MiniBooNE anomaly but leaves zero-proton single-photon sources unco...
