Abstract

Precise measurements and modeling of the ν-nucleus cross-section in the intermediate energy range (∼ 0.5–5 GeV), and related nuclear effects, are today considered as fundamental issues for a robust control of the system- atic uncertainties in the forthcoming experimental effort aiming at precision measurements of the MNSP matrix elements. The LAr TPC technology is ideal to perform a wide variety of ν-physics studies in the intermediate energy range, thanks to the capability of single particle identification and detailed reconstruction of exclusive topologies. The ArgoNeuT detector, re- cently put into operation on the low energy NuMI beam line at FNAL, may provide with first data and precision measurements of quasi-elastic ν–Ar cross-section.
