Monte Carlo method for constructing confidence intervals with unconstrained and constrained nuisance parameters in the NOvA experiment Open
Measuring observables to constrain models using maximum-likelihood estimation is fundamental to many physics experiments. Wilks' theorem provides a simple way to construct confidence intervals on model parameters, but it only applies under…

First combined tuning on transverse kinematic imbalance data with and without pion production constraints Open
We present the first combined tuning, using , of four transverse kinematic imbalance measurements of neutrino-hydrocarbon scattering, both with and without pion final states, from the T2K and MINERvA experiments. As a proof of concept, we …

Tectonics, geochronology, and petrology of the Walker Top Granite, Appalachian Inner Piedmont, North Carolina (USA): Implications for Acadian and Neoacadian orogenesis Open
The Walker Top Granite (here formally named) is a peraluminous megacrystic granite that occurs in the Cat Square terrane, Inner Piedmont, part of the southern Appalachian Acadian-Neoacadian deformational and metamorphic core. The granite o…

Detector and Beamline Simulation for Next-Generation High Energy Physics Experiments Open
The success of high energy physics programs relies heavily on accurate detector simulations and beam interaction modeling. The increasingly complex detector geometries and beam dynamics require sophisticated techniques in order to meet the…

Neutrino-nucleon cross-section model tuning in GENIE v3 Open
We summarise the results of a study performed within the GENIE global analysis framework, revisiting the GENIE bare-nucleon cross-section tuning and, in particular, the tuning of a) the inclusive cross-section, b) the cross-section of low-…

Proof of Concept Test to Determine the Viability of Building an Extensive Database for Resolution of Far-Field Effects of the Acadian and Alleghanian Orogenies Open
Several episodes of uplift have occurred along the Cincinnati arch. These periods of uplift are likely a result of several orogenic events although the exact timing of the uplift in relation to these orogenic events is not fully understood…
