"Latest Neutrino Scattering Results From MiniBooNE"

Presented by Sam Zeller, Los Alamos National Laboratory

Thursday, June 18, 2009, 3:00 pm — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

The MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab has amassed the world's largest collection
of neutrino and antineutrino events in the 1 GeV energy range; a sample that
includes both quasi-elastic scattering and single pion production processes.
Such reactions have not been probed in detail for decades, having been first
studied in bubble and spark chamber experiments. More precise measurements are
sorely needed and yield important constraints for neutrino oscillation
experiments operating in this few-GeV energy range. With an order of magnitude
larger statistics than historically available, study of the MiniBooNE events
is already providing interesting insight into low energy neutrino scattering
on nuclei. New results on these scattering cross sections and their relevance
for oscillation experiments will be discussed.
