The MINERA Detector
Active target of scintillator bars (6t total, 3 - 5 t fiducial) - M64PMT Surrounded by calorimeters
upstream calorimeters are Pb, Fe targets (~1t each) magnetized side and downstream tracker/calorimeter

Location in NuMI Near Hall
MINERA preferred running is as close as possible to MINOS, (without Muon Ranger), using MINOS as high energy muon spectrometer If necessary, MINERA can run stand-alone elsewhere in the hall with the muon ranger

The NuMI Neutrino Beam
Main injector: 120 GeV protons

Move target only

With E-907(MIPP) at Fermilab to measure particle spectra
from the NuMI target,expect to know neutrino flux to

Neutrino Scattering TopicsWhat will we know and not know at time snapshot?
Quasi-elastic Resonance Production - 1pi Resonance Production - npi, transition region - resonance to DIS Deep-Inelastic Scattering Coherent Pion Production Strange and Charm Particle Production Nuclear Effects T and Structure Functions
s(x) and c(x) High-x parton distribution functions
Spin-dependent parton distribution functions Generalized Parton Distributions

(Quasi)-elastic
Dominant reaction up to ~1 GeV energy
Essential for E measurement in K2K/T2K
The “well-measured” reaction Uncertain to “only” 20% or so for
neutrinos Worse in important threshold region and
for anti-neutrinos
Axial form-factor not accessible to electron scattering Essential to modeling q2 distribution
Recoil proton reconstruction requires fine-grained design - impractical for oscillation detectors
Recent work focuses on non-dipole form-factors, non-zero Gn

Resonant Multi-pion Production andtransition to DIS - Quark/Hadron Duality
Recent JLAB data have revived interest in quark/hadron duality
Bodek and Yang have shown that DIS cross-sections can be extended into the resonance regime, and match the “average” of the resonant cross-section
We need more than just the “average” knowledge of the transition region - hills and valleys
Beyond kinematic range of K2K and MiniBooNe.
MINERA - 600K events Challenge to the resolution of
MINERA? Bodek and Yang

DIS: Parton Distribution FunctionsWhat Can We Learn With All Six Structure Functions?
Does s = s and c = c over all x? If so.....
F 2Ν (x,Q2 ) =x u+ u + d+ d+2 s + 2c[ ]
F 2Ν (x,Q2 ) =x u+ u + d+ d+2s+ 2 c[ ]
xF 3Ν (x,Q2 ) =x u+ d - u - d - 2 s+ 2c[ ]
xF 3Ν (x,Q2 ) =x u+ d - u - d +2s - 2 c[ ]

Characterized by a small energy transfer to the nucleus, forward going . NC (0 production) significant background for --> .e oscillation search
Data has not been precise enough to discriminate between several very different models.
K2K, with their SciBar detector, and MiniBooNe will attempt to explicitly measure this channel - important low Emeasurement Expect 25K events and roughly (30-40)% detection efficiency with MINERA.
Can also study A-dependence with MINERA

Nuclear Effects - Low low Q2 shadowing
Q2 distribution for SciBar detector
MiniBooNEFrom J. Raaf(NOON04)
All “known” nuclear effects taken into account:Pauli suppression, Fermi Motion, Final State Interactions
They have not included low- shadowing that is only allowed with axial-vector (Boris Kopeliovich at NuInt04)
Lc = 2 / (m2 + Q2) ≥ RA (not m
2) Lc
100 times shorter with mallowing low -low Q2 shadowing
ONLY MEASURABLE VIA NEUTRINO - NUCLEUS INTERACTIONS! MINERA WILL MEASURE THIS ACROSS A WIDE AND Q2 RANGE WITH C : Fe : Pb
Problem has existed for over two years
Larger than expected rollover at low Q2
28
Low Q2 Suppression - alternative considerations M. Sakuda
List of items to be considered Is Coherent pion suppressed?
K2K will use PID to disentangle 1/coherent pion (Hasegawa) New data (e-N, C) on coherent pion production. CC from Mainz MAMI
Accelerator may tell us something.
Change in Elastic form factors Cause A few % effect on d/dq2 in lowq2 region
N form factor coupled with MA Sato (Nufact04), Paschos (NuInt04) Old Rein-Sehgal N form factor does not agee with data.
Uniform Fermi momentum distributions in MC? Electron scattering data show large kf component. Benhar(NuInt04) and
Nakamura (NuInt04). QE peak cross section 10-20% higher with Fermi Gas than with Spectral Functions which agrees better with electroproduction data,.
29
What will we need beyond MiniBooNe, K2K and MINERA parasitic run for neutrino scattering?
ANTINEUTRINO EXPOSURE Need to improve purity - NuFact05 design efficient beam (with plug)
HYDROGEN AND DEUTERIUM EXPOSURE FOR and Need reasonable event rates at E ≈ 1 GEV
NARROW BAND BEAM FOR DETAILED LOOK AT NC? NuFact05 - Is off-axis beam sufficiently narrow?
IMPROVED DETECTOR TECHNIQUES PARTICULARLY GOOD NEUTRON DETECTION FOR
30
What can Superbeams and Neutrino Factories Add to Scattering Measurements?
Debbie Harris
Neutral Current Measurements vs E
Anti-neutrino cross sections & interactions
H2, D2 Measurements
Polarized Target Measurements (spin structure functions)
Narrow Band Beams How narrow is narrow? Are there tricks to get more
narrow beams? Broad Band Beams
Largest rate No NC vs E available
Beta-beams Broad band, Low Energy
Neutrino Factories Broad Band Neutrino and antineutrino at the
same time, if you can reconstruct and e CC
NO NC vs E or even vs neutrino helicity!
31
Summary
At the completion of MiniBooNe, K2K and the MINERA parasitic run we will have reasonable results for neutrino-nucleus interactions including cross-sections, form factors and nuclear effects.
We will need a SuperBeam to have similarly reasonable results for cross-sections, hydrogen and deuterium cross-sections for both and , high-statistics narrow-band studies of NC (and CC) channels.
We will need a Neutrino Factory for neutrino-polarized target experiments (T-A. Shibata) to understand the spin-dependent pdfs and generalized parton distributions.
