Abstract
Long-baseline neutrino oscillation experimentation is about to enter aprecision era. As experiments such as Hyper-K and DUNE begin data.taking in the coming years, statistical uncertainties will increasingly giveway to systematic uncertainties associated with neutrino-nucleu.interaction modelling. Improving these models will require targetedmeasurements of exclusive and subdominant interaction channels whichhave previouslybeen impossible to perform. Our understanding ofremains incomplete inseveral areasneutrino-nucleus interactionsincluding the precise nature of the nuclear response and final-stateinteractions, how multiple pions are produced, and differences betweensections. The upgraded near detector ofT2k,ND280.isve and yu crossone of several programmes addressing these challenges directly. Thisseminar will introduce the current state of neutrino cross-section physicsIt will discuss how the field must advance, particularly by using novelND280 measurements, to improve our understanding of neutrinointeractions and reduce systematic uncertainties for next-generationoscillation measurements.
Biography
Nick Latham is a postdoctoral researcher at King's College London.working on the Japan-based Super-Kamiokande, T2K and HyperKamiokande experiments. He completed his PhD at the University ofWarwick in 2024: his thesis focusing on the first measurement ofelectron-neutrino charged-current pion production on carbon using theold ND280 configuration at T2K, At King's, he currently works on thedevelopment of the data acquisition and online monitoring for thenext generation Hyper-Kamiokande experiment. He also continues tofocus on neutrino cross_section measurements, and more recently, onsearches of new physics bevond them current 3-neutrino paradigmusing data from T2K.
