The physics of neutrino cross sections: theoretical studies

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-05-17 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment Nuclear Theory

Abstract

The present status of neutrino cross section physics is reviewed focusing on the recent theoretical developments in quasielastic scattering, multi-nucleon contributions to the inclusive scattering and pion production on nucleons and nuclei. A good understanding of these processes is crucial to meet the precision needs of neutrino oscillation experiments. Some of the challenges that arise in the consistent description of MiniBooNE and MINERvA recent data are discussed.
