论文摘要
估计中微子核相互作用横截面的最大不确定性在于对核效应的不完全理解。研究核效应的强大工具是横向运动学失衡。本文介绍了多个事件生成器对与氩气中微子相互作用相关的分布的预测的第一个详细比较。使用四种标准中微子事件生成工具（Genie，Nuwro，Gibuu和Neut）获得了与氩靶相互作用的MUON中微子的预测。强调了利用未来测量的核模型之间歧视的示例机会。本文所示的预测是通过研究微体液体氩时间投射室位置的Fermilab Booster Neutmino束相互作用的MUON中微子来进行的，但是这些方法直接适用于其他基于加速性的液体氩气中性粉实验，例如SBND，icarus and Icarus和Dune。
The largest uncertainties in estimating neutrino-nucleus interaction cross sections lie in the incomplete understanding of nuclear effects. A powerful tool to study nuclear effects is Transverse Kinematic Imbalance. This paper presents the first detailed comparison of the predictions of multiple event generators for distributions associated with Transverse Kinematic Imbalance for neutrino interactions on argon. Predictions for muon neutrinos interacting with an argon target are obtained using four standard neutrino event generation tools (GENIE, NuWro, GiBUU and NEUT). Example opportunities for discrimination between nuclear models leveraging future measurements are highlighted. The predictions shown in this paper are motivated by studying muon neutrinos from the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beam interacting at the location of the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber, but the methods directly apply to other accelerator-based liquid argon neutrino experiments such as SBND, ICARUS and DUNE.
