Data based two-body current contribution to neutrino-nucleus cross section

A phenomenological model of two-body current (2p2h) contribution to neutrino cross section is introduced. Predictions of the Valencia model for 2p2h are modified using recent CC0pi measurements from T2K and MINERvA experiments. Our results suggest a significant increase of the 2p2h cross section at...

Description
Summary:A phenomenological model of two-body current (2p2h) contribution to neutrino cross section is introduced. Predictions of the Valencia model for 2p2h are modified using recent CC0pi measurements from T2K and MINERvA experiments. Our results suggest a significant increase of the 2p2h cross section at neutrino energies bigger than 1 GeV and also a redistribution of 2p2h events as function of energy and momentum transfer. This may have a big impact on neutrino energy reconstruction in neutrino oscillation parameters.
