Nuclear Effects and CP Sensitivity at DUNE

الملخص EN

The precise measurement of neutrino-oscillation parameters is one of the highest priorities in neutrino-oscillation physics.

To achieve the desired precision, it is necessary to reduce the systematic uncertainties related to neutrino energy reconstruction.

An error in energy reconstruction is propagated to all the oscillation parameters; hence, a careful estimation of the neutrino energy is required.

To increase the statistics, neutrino-oscillation experiments use heavy nuclear targets like argon (Z=18).

The use of these nuclear targets introduces nuclear effects that severely impact the neutrino energy reconstruction which in turn poses influence in the determination of neutrino-oscillation parameters.

In this work, we have tried to quantify the presence of nuclear effects on the bounds of the CP phase by DUNE using final state interactions.
