Information on mock data series 09a2019

10 datasets: 1-5, 11-15

Basic MC production information:

• Datasets 1-5 were produced using GENIE 3.0.6 / G18_10a_02_11a
• Datasets 11-15 were produced using GENIE 2.12.10 / Default+MEC;

Tweaks:

Datasets i and 10+i have an identical systematic variation, but on a different underlying cross-section model.

Dataset 1 (11):

• Unchanged flux
• Unchanged interaction model for given GENIE tune
• Unchanged detector response
• No oscillations

Dataset 2 (12):

• Unchanged flux
• Tweaked interaction model:
  • Decrease CCQE by 10% for Q^2 < 0.3 GeV^2 and decrease by 3% in remaining Q^2 range.
  • Increase CCMEC by 50%.
  • Throw away a random 20% of CC1\pi events where the \pi is subsequently absorbed (emulate \Delta + N -> N + N)
  • Increase NC bkg by 30%
• Unchanged detector response
• No oscillations

Dataset 3 (13):

• Tweaked flux:
  • Decrease muon-neutrino flux below 1 GeV by 2% at SBND and by 1% at ICARUS
• Tweaked interaction model (as in Dataset 2 (12)):
  • Decrease CCQE by 10% for Q^2 < 0.3 GeV^2 and decrease by 3% in remaining Q^2 range.
  • Increase CCMEC by 50%.
  • Throw away a random 20% of CC1\pi events where the \pi is subsequently absorbed (emulate \Delta + N -> N + N)
  • Increase NC bkg by 30%
• Unchanged detector response
• No oscillations

Dataset 4 (14):

• Tweaked flux (as in Dataset 3 (13)):
  • Decrease muon-neutrino flux below 1 GeV by 2% at SBND and by 1% at ICARUS
• Tweaked interaction model (as in Dataset 3 (13)):
  • Decrease CCQE by 10% for Q^2 < 0.3 GeV^2 and decrease by 3% in remaining Q^2 range.
  • Increase CCMEC by 50%.
  • Throw away a random 20% of CC1\pi events where the \pi is subsequently absorbed (emulate \Delta + N -> N + N)
  • Increase NC bkg by 30%
• Tweaked detector response:
  • In the calculation of Ereco in SBND, remove 20 MeV from CCQE events, 30 MeV from CCMEC events, and 40 MeV from CC1pi events.
  • In ICARUS, assuming a difference in relative energy scale, subtract 10 MeV less than in SBND for each type of event.
• No oscillations
