Neutrino trident production revisited for DUNE-like and MINERVA-like scenarios

We systematically review the di-muon production via neutrino scattering off the Coloumb eld of nuclei, referred to as neutrino trident production. While this process has a small cross section compared to the SM charged-current inclusive neutrino nucleus channel, it features a very clear experimental signature. The oppositely charged muons are characterized by investigating their kinematical distributions. For this, we have implemented a very detailed simulation of neutrino trident production in the GENIE MC and make an analysis and simulation of relevant backgrounds. We further explore Multivariate Analysis methods to enhance signal selection in the context of a MINERVA-like and DUNE-like detectors as representative of current and forthcoming accelerator-based neutrino experiments.
