Electrons for neutrinos: nuclei (H02)

• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 514321794

This project is devoted to the theoretical and experimental study of electron scattering off medium-mass nuclei (12C, 16O, and 40Ca) with the goal of improving our understanding of the nuclear structure dynamics governing lepton-nucleus cross sections. This effort will allow us to quantify and possibly reduce uncertainties stemming from nuclear structure, which presently affect the extraction of neutri-no oscillation parameters from long-baseline experiments.
