SUMMARY: NOvA Cross-section Measurement of Muon Antineutrino Charge Cu
 rrent Inclusive Interactions\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) For
 um\, Prabhjot Singh\, Queen Mary University of London
DESCRIPTION:Neutrino-nucleus interactions are one of the major systema
 tics in neutrino oscillation experiments. In this high-precision era o
 f neutrino oscillation measurements\, the neutrino oscillation experim
 ents need to have a good understanding of neutrino-nucleus interaction
 s to reduce uncertainties in the oscillation measurements. NOvA is a l
 ong-baseline accelerator-based internationally-collaborated neutrino e
 xperiment based in the USA. NOvA uses an intense neutrino beam produce
 d at Fermilab’s accelerator complex to make physics measurements of 
 neutrino oscillations\, neutrino cross sections\, and other exotic and
  beyond the Standard Model neutrino analyses. For its physics goals\, 
 NOvA uses two functionally identical detectors. The Near Detector (ND)
  is situated at Fermilab\, 1 km from the neutrino target and the Far D
 etector (FD) is located at Ash River\, MN\, 810 km from the neutrino s
 ource. The ND sees a high intensity of the neutrino beam due to its pr
 oximity to the neutrino target. This gives us a unique opportunity for
  high-precision neutrino cross-section measurements. In this seminar\,
  we will talk about the motivations for doing neutrino cross-section m
 easurements. We will also discuss different aspects of the NOvA experi
 ment\, and detectors. Finally\, we present our latest muon antineutrin
 o charge current inclusive cross-section measurement results in the NO
 vA ND. The new measurement is a triple differential cross section in a
 ntimuon kinematic phase-space and in the total energy of all observabl
 e final state hadrons\, also known as the available energy. We also co
 mpare our data results to various neutrino generator predictions\, for
  example\, comparisons to GENIE\, NuWro\, NEUT\, and GiBUU neutrino ge
 nerators are presented.
