Modeling neutrino-nucleus cross sections for accelerator-based experiments

Worldwide, neutrino experiments are preparing for a decisive search in the exciting investigation of the matter dominance that characterizes our universe. Collaborations as HyperKamiokande and DUNE are aiming for a precision analysis of neutrino oscillations and the determination of the CP violating phase. A common feature of these accelerator-based oscillation experiments, is that they rely on neutrino-nucleus cross sections to 'count' the neutrinos in their near and far detectors to allow them to obtain to infer oscillation information. This brings along the need for detailed predictions of the interaction probability for different (anti)neutrino flavors as a function of energy. In this talk, I will present the Ghent program on neutrino-nucleus cross section modeling, that is aiming at a description of neutrino-nucleus interactions over a broad energy range, with models ranging from low energy coherent processes over collective nuclear excitations and quasielastic predictions, to two-nucleon knockout processes and pion production.
