Abstract

In this work, we investigate the role of multi-nucleon (MN) effects (mainly 2p-2h and RPA) on the sensitivity measurement of various neutrino oscillation parameters, in the disappearance channel of NOνA (USA) experiment. Short-range correlations and detector effects have also been included in the analysis. We use the kinematical method of reconstruction of the incoming neutrino energy, both at the near and far detectors. The extrapolation technique has been used to estimate oscillated events at the far detector. The latest global best fit values of various light neutrino oscillation parameters have been used in the analysis. We find that MN effects increase uncertainty in the measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters, while lower detector efficiency is reflected in more uncertainty. This study can give useful insight into precision studies at long-baseline neutrino experiments in future measurements.
