Analysis of NOvA and MicroBooNE charged-current inclusive neutrino measurements within the SuSAv2 framework

Abstract

In this work we compare the SuSAv2 model, based on the superscaling phenomenon and the relativistic meanfield theory, with charged-current inclusive neutrino cross sections from the NOvA and MicroBooNE experiments, whose targets are composed primarily by 12C and 40Ar, respectively. The neutrino energy in these experiments covers a kinematic range from tens of MeV to roughly 20 GeV. Thus, we consider the different reaction mechanisms that contribute significantly to these kinematics, namely quasielastic, twoparticle two-hole meson exchange currents, resonances, and deep inelastic scattering contributions.
