Treatment of flux shape uncertainties in unfolded, flux-averaged neutrino cross-section measurements

Abstract:

The exact way of treating flux shape uncertainties in unfolded, flux-averaged neutrino cross-section measurements can lead to subtle issues when comparing the results to model predictions. There is a difference between reporting a cross section in the (unknown) real flux, and reporting a cross section that was extrapolated from the real flux to a well-defined, fixed reference flux. Many current analyses do the former, while the results are compared to model predictions as if they were the lat...
