Abstract
Nuclear effects in neutrino interactions are one of the major sources of systematic uncertainties in the neutrino beam oscillation experiments. Our present understanding of these effects is still insufficient. Another source of uncertainty is the energy dependence of neutrino oscillation probability which is a nontrivial function of the true incoming neutrino energy. The NUMI Off-Axis \(\nu _{e}\) Appearance (NO\(\nu \)A), a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, is designed to measure \(\nu _{e} (\bar{\nu }_{e})\) appearance probability and \(\nu _{\mu }(\bar{\nu }_{\mu })\) disappearance probability at Fermilab’s NUMI (Neutrinos at the Main Injector) beam. In this work, we use the kinematic method of reconstruction of the incoming neutrino energy, both at the ND and FD, and investigate the role of Multi-Nucleon (MN) effects on neutrino nucleus scattering cross section and event distribution at ND and FD of NO\(\nu \)A.
