About
Understanding neutrino interactions is key to unlocking the full physics potential of DUNE. In this talk, I present a novel data-driven strategy to estimate the $\nu_e/\nu_\mu$ cross-section ratio without relying on interaction models. By exploiting the unique off-axis capabilities of DUNE-PRISM, we construct optimized linear combinations of $\nu_\mu$ fluxes that closely replicate $\nu_e$ fluxes. This allows us to isolate the cross-section effects directly from event rates. The method combines flux matching, regularized minimization, and energy-weighted importance functions—offering a robust and transparent path toward precision neutrino physics..
