Neutrino Interaction Model and Uncertainties for MicroBooNE Analyses

UNSPECIFIED (2020) Neutrino Interaction Model and Uncertainties for MicroBooNE Analyses. Other. UNSPECIFIED.

Abstract

The MicroBooNE experiment is searching for an excess of electron-like events at low neutrino energy, as well as making the first high-statistics measurements of neutrino interactions on argon. Interpretation of these results requires a reliable model of neutrino interaction physics with well-motivated uncertainties. This note describes the neutrino interaction model and uncertainties adopted for use in MicroBooNE’s cross section measurements and low-energy excess search.
