摘要：Neutrinos and anti-neutrinos produced by accelerators are the major tools to study Lepontic CP Violation (LCPV). In long baseline oscillation experiments such as Hyper-K and DUNE, they are detected via interactions with nuclear targets. Through determination of the (anti-neutrino energy spectra, information on LCPV can be obtained. In the neutrino-nucleus interactions, the target nucleon initial state and its final-state interactions have non-negligible impact on the neutrino energy spectra measurement. Studying such nuclear effects is therefore crucial for improving the LCPV sensitivity. In this talk, the novel application of transverse kinematic imbalance to this problem will be introduced [1]. We will also discuss the prospect of circumventing nuclear effects to measure neutrino energy spectra with attainable experimental techniques [2].

报告人简介：After getting his PhD from University of Heidelberg for his work in ALICE, Xianguo moved to Oxford to work on T2K in 2014 as a post-doctoral research assistant. In February 2016 he started the MINERvA group in Oxford. His current research interests include phenomenology and experimental analysis in neutrino interactions.
