Precise measurement of neutrino oscillations, and hence the determination of their masses demands a quantitative understanding of neutrino-nucleus interactions. To this aim, two-body meson-exchange currents have to be accounted for along…
Microscopic calculations of neutrino-nucleus scattering cross sections are critical for the success of the neutrino-oscillation program. In addition to retaining nuclear correlations in the initial and final state of the reaction, they are…

The neutrino experiments utilize heavy nuclear targets to achieve high statistics neutrino-nucleus interaction event rate, which leads to systematic uncertainties in the oscillation parameters due to the nuclear effects and uncertainties in…
