Neutrino-nucleus interactions in the T2K experiment
Abstract
We present a study of neutrino-nucleus interactions at the T2K experiment based on the GiBUU transport model. The aim of T2K is to measure νe appearance and θ13, but it will also be able to do a precise measurement of νμ disappearance. The former requires a good understanding of π0 production, while the latter is closely connected with a good understanding of quasielastic scattering. For both processes we investigate the influence of nuclear effects and particular final-state interactions on the expected event rates, taking into account the T2K detector setup.
