Neutrino-Nucleus Interactions around 1 GeV

Abstract

The extraction of neutrino oscillation parameters often requires the unambiguous identification of the reaction mechanism to be used for the energy determination. The use of nuclear targets and of beams with broad energy distributions complicates this task because it requires the reliable description of many different elementary processes and the use of event generators to isolate and identify them. In this talk I briefly summarize our present understanding of this task.Comment: Contribution to PANIC11, July 24-29, 2011, Cambridge, US
