Historically studied in the context of heavy-ion collisions, the extent to which free nucleon-nucleon cross sections are modified in-medium remains undetermined by these data sets. Therefore, we investigate the impact of NN in-medium…
We clarify under what circumstances the nucleon--nucleon final state interaction fixes the energy dependence of the total cross--section for the reaction $NN \to NNx$ close to production threshold, where $x$ can be any meson whose…

Detecting neutrinos and extracting the information they bring along is an ambitions task that requires a detailed understanding of neutrino-nucleus interactions over a broad energy range. We present calculations for quasi-elastic…
In this work, we have studied (anti)neutrino induced charged current quasielastic scattering from some nuclear targets in the energy region of $E_\nu < 1~GeV$. Our aim is to confront electron and muon production cross sections relevant for…
We suggest that superscaling in electroweak interactions with nuclei, namely the observation that the reduced electron-nucleus cross sections are to a large degree independent of the momentum transfer and of the nuclear species, can be used…
The treatment of nuclear effects in neutrino-nucleus interactions is one of the main sources of systematic uncertainty for the analysis and interpretation of data of neutrino oscillation experiments. Neutrinos interact with nuclei via…

Accurate neutrino-nucleus interaction modeling is an essential requirement for the success of the accelerator-based neutrino program. As no satisfactory description of cross sections exists, experiments tune neutrino-nucleus interactions to…
The electron-neutrino charged-current quasielastic (CCQE) cross section on nuclei is an important input parameter for electron neutrino appearance oscillation experiments. Current experiments typically begin with the muon neutrino cross…
Based on the isospin-dependent Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck transport model, we systematically investigate the in-medium effects of nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) cross sections on nucleonic and pionic observables in heavy-ion collisions, employing…
The neutrino-nucleus reactions are studied at energies from 0 to 3 GeV, using the CRISP program. To simulate these reactions, CRISP uses the Monte Carlo method through an intranuclear cascade model. Quase-elastic and baryonic resonance…
