Abstract:

We present a set of new generalized kinematic imbalance variables that can be measured in neutrino scattering. These variables extend previous measurements of kinematic imbalance on the transverse plane and are more sensitive to modeling of nuclear effects. We demonstrate the enhanced power of these variables using simulation and then use the MicroBooNE detector to measure them for the first time. We report flux-integrated single- and double-differential measurements of charged-current muon neutrino scattering on argon using a topology with one muon and one proton in the final state as a function of these novel kinematic imbalance variables. These measurements allow us to demonstrate that the treatment of charged current quasielastic interactions in genie version 2 is inadequate to describe data. Further, they reveal tensions with more modern generator predictions particularly in regions of phase space where final state interactions are important.

Novel approach for evaluating detector-related uncertainties in a LArTPC using MicroBooNE data

European Physical Journal C Springer 82:5 (2022) 454

Authors:

P Abratenko, R An, J Anthony, G Barr, K Duffy, W Van De Pontseele

Abstract:

Primary challenges for current and future precision neutrino experiments using liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) include understanding detector effects and quantifying the associated systematic uncertainties. This paper presents a novel technique for assessing and propagating LArTPC detector-related systematic uncertainties. The technique makes modifications to simulation waveforms based on a parameterization of observed differences in ionization signals from the TPC between data and simulation, while remaining insensitive to the details of the detector model. The modifications are then used to quantify the systematic differences in low- and high-level reconstructed quantities. This approach could be applied to future LArTPC detectors, such as those used in SBN and DUNE.

New CC 0蟺 GENIE model tune for MicroBooNE

Physical Review D American Physical Society 105:7 (2022) 072001

Authors:

P Abratenko, An, Anthony, Giles Barr, Kirsty Duffy

Abstract:

Obtaining a high-quality interaction model with associated uncertainties is essential for neutrino experiments studying oscillations, nuclear scattering processes, or both. As a primary input to the MicroBooNE experiment鈥檚 next generation of neutrino cross section measurements and its flagship investigation of the MiniBooNE low-energy excess, we present a new tune of the charged-current pionless (CC0蟺) interaction cross section via the two major contributing processes鈥攃harged-current quasielastic and multinucleon interaction models鈥攚ithin version 3.0.6 of the GENIE neutrino event generator. Parameters in these models are tuned to muon neutrino CC0蟺 cross section data obtained by the T2K experiment, which provides an independent set of neutrino interactions with a neutrino flux in a similar energy range to MicroBooNE鈥檚 neutrino beam. Although the fit is to muon neutrino data, the information carries over to electron neutrino simulation because the same underlying models are used in GENIE. A number of novel fit parameters were developed for this work, and the optimal parameters were chosen from existing and new sets. We choose to fit four parameters that have not previously been constrained by theory or data. Thus, this will be called a theory-driven tune. The result is an improved match to the T2K CC0蟺 data with more well-motivated uncertainties based on the fit.

Electromagnetic shower reconstruction and energy validation with Michel electrons and 蟺0 samples for the deep-learning-based analyses in MicroBooNE

Journal of Instrumentation IOP Publishing 16 (2021) T12017

Authors:

P Abratenko, R An, J Anthony, Giles Barr, Kirsty Duffy, N Tagg, W Van De Pontseele

Abstract:

This article presents the reconstruction of the electromagnetic activity from electrons and photons (showers) used in the MicroBooNE deep learning-based low energy electron search. The reconstruction algorithm uses a combination of traditional and deep learning-based techniques to estimate shower energies. We validate these predictions using two 谓渭-sourced data samples: charged/neutral current interactions with final state neutral pions and charged current interactions in which the muon stops and decays within the detector producing a Michel electron. Both the neutral pion sample and Michel electron sample demonstrate agreement between data and simulation. Further, the absolute shower energy scale is shown to be consistent with the relevant physical constant of each sample: the neutral pion mass peak and the Michel energy cutoff.
