Ab Initio Study of ( ν ℓ , ℓ − ) and ( ν ¯ ℓ , ℓ + ) Inclusive Scattering in C 12 : Confronting the MiniBooNE and T2K CCQE Data

A new numerical study calculates the interaction cross section between neutrinos and the carbon nucleus and finds a good match with extant data, a key step toward characterizing neutrino flavor oscillations.
