Abstract:

The neutrino cross-sections on nucleons and nuclei across all energy scales from eV to GeV and beyond are very small and the uncertainties in ux are also large. Moreover, there are many processes which contribute simultaneously to neutrino interaction cross-sections. This makes the analysis of data and theoretical predictions more challenging. Yet it is crucial to determine the cross-sections as an essential ingredient to the growing pursuit of neutrino oscillations and the kind of signals observed there-off. In the present contribution, we have generated the events using NuWro event generator to compute the cross-sections for neutrino interactions with different targets, from MeV to GeV scales of energy, with an emphasis on comparison with experimental findings.

Keywords:

Cross-section, pion production, neutrino-nucleus interactions, neutrino oscillations, neutrino mass and mixing.
