: Calculating the axial form factors of the nucleon, which are vital for predicting neutrino-nucleon cross-sections.
The white paper outlines several primary goals for the USQCD community: 12916x
: Transitioning from single-nucleon calculations to multi-nucleon systems and light nuclei to understand "nuclear effects" that can bias experimental results. : Calculating the axial form factors of the
The report emphasizes that as experiments move into the "precision era," the limiting factor will no longer be the number of neutrinos captured (statistical error) but the accuracy of the interaction models (systematic error). Lattice QCD provides the only first-principles method to solve these strong-force problems. 12916x
