Title Measurement of the (e,e') cross section for12C, 48Ti, 27Al and 40Ar
Abstract "Many experiments have found that neutrinos have three different flavors, and they can transform from each other. Each flavor is a mixture of three nonzero mass states. In neutrino oscillation experiments, the uncertainty of the extracted oscillation parameters is dependent on the neutrino-nucleus cross section. In recent years various experiments provided precise neutrino and anti-neutrino cross section measurements and they have shown the inability of current Monte Carlo simulations to reproduce the data. A more accurate nuclear structure model of the target employed in neutrino detector is urgently needed to improve the precision of long baseline neutrino experiments. Electron scattering has been one of the most powerful methods of obtaining information about cross sections in the past. In the upcoming deep underground neutrino experiment (DUNE), Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) will be used as the detector technology and argon will be used as the nuclear target.
