Lepton kinematics in low energy neutrino-Argon interactions

Understand

Background: Neutrinos in the low-energy regime provide a gateway to a wealth of interesting physics.

• While plenty of literature exists on detailing the calculation and measurement of total reaction strengths, relatively little attention is paid to the measurement and modeling of the final lepton through differential cross sections at low energies, despite the experimental importance.
• Purpose: We calculate differential cross sections for low-energy neutrino-nucleus scattering.
• We examine the role played by forbidden transitions in these distributions and how this differs across different energies and nuclear target masses.
