NuSTEC NuSTEC is an international consortium focused on neutrino scattering, detector calibration, and theoretical modeling. It brings together experimental collaborations, national laboratories, university groups, and computing centers to coordinate measurements, Monte Carlo development, and cross-section analyses across accelerator facilities and underground detectors.
NuSTEC coordinates activities among collaborations such as MINERvA, NOvA, MicroBooNE, T2K, DUNE, ICARUS, SBND, Hyper-Kamiokande, SHiP, SNO+, Super-Kamiokande, IceCube, KM3NeT, Borexino, JUNO, MINOS, ArgoNeuT, LArIAT, NOvA Near Detector, MicroBooNE Cryostat, NuMI beamline groups, and theoretical consortia including NuWro authors and GiBUU developers. It interfaces with national laboratories such as Fermilab, CERN, Brookhaven National Laboratory, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, TRIUMF, KEK, J-PARC, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and university groups from University of Oxford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Chicago, Columbia University, University of Tokyo, University of California, Berkeley, University of Michigan, Imperial College London, University of Liverpool, University of Sheffield, University of Geneva, University of Toronto, McGill University, University of Houston, Rutgers University, University of Washington, University of Colorado Boulder, University of Wisconsin–Madison, Pennsylvania State University, University of Minnesota, University of California, Santa Cruz, University of Cambridge, Stony Brook University, University of California, Los Angeles, University of Melbourne, Monash University, Australian National University, University of Sydney, ETH Zurich, University of Zurich, University of Bonn, Technische Universität München, University of Padua, Sapienza University of Rome, Università di Pisa, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Instituto de Física Corpuscular, Seoul National University, Tsinghua University, Peking University, University of Buenos Aires, University of São Paulo, Czech Technical University in Prague, University of Warsaw.
NuSTEC emerged from workshops and working groups linked to initiatives such as Neutrino 2018 and follow-ups at Fermilab and CERN that convened stakeholders from T2K and NOvA communities. Founders included representatives from experimental programs like MINERvA and theoretical efforts tied to GiBUU and GENIE developers. Early organizing meetings referenced legacy projects such as CCFR, NuTeV, LSND, K2K, Super-Kamiokande analyses and built on cross-section frameworks developed at Fermilab and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
NuSTEC membership comprises principal investigators and data analysts from collaborations including DUNE protoDUNE groups, detector R&D teams from MicroBooNE and SBND, theory groups associated with NuWro, GENIE, GiBUU, NEUT, and computing centers at NERSC, ALCF, O2-style facilities, and cloud services used by CERN. Steering committees have liaisons to funding agencies such as US Department of Energy (Office of Science), European Research Council, UK Research and Innovation, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, National Science Foundation panels, and national lab leadership at Fermilab and Brookhaven National Laboratory.
NuSTEC coordinates cross-section measurements, final-state interaction studies, and nuclear model benchmarking across detectors like MicroBooNE, MINERvA, ArgoNeuT, and T2K ND280. Projects link generator tuning efforts for GENIE, NuWro, GiBUU, and NEUT with data from experiments such as MINOS, NOvA, ICARUS, SBND, and DUNE prototypes. It fosters analyses on quasi-elastic scattering benchmarks inspired by results from MiniBooNE, LSND, and T2K and supports investigations into meson production observed by MINERvA and ArgoNeuT. NuSTEC also runs coordinated campaigns to address systematic uncertainties relevant to oscillation experiments like DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande.
NuSTEC promotes common data formats, provenance standards, and validation suites interfacing with software such as ROOT, GEANT4, ART framework, LArSoft, RIVET, HEPData, Zenodo, GitHub, CERN OpenData, HDF5, Apache Parquet, and workflows run on HTCondor and Kubernetes clusters. It supports generator repositories for GENIE, NuWro, GiBUU, and NEUT with continuous integration using services like Travis CI, GitLab CI, and Jenkins at computing centers including NERSC and Fermilab analysis clusters.
NuSTEC organizes schools and workshops inspired by programs like CERN Summer Student Programme, T2K Summer School, Fermilab Summer Internships, IPPP lectures, and topical meetings modeled on Neutrino 2016 and Neutrino 2018 series. It collaborates with outreach arms at Fermilab and CERN to create tutorials, notebooks, and training materials for students from institutions such as University of Oxford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Tokyo, University of Melbourne, and Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
NuSTEC has influenced analyses across collaborations including DUNE, T2K, NOvA, MicroBooNE, and IceCube by standardizing cross-section inputs and uncertainties. It maintains partnerships with generator developers (GENIE, NuWro, GiBUU, NEUT), computing centers (NERSC, ALCF), and major laboratories (Fermilab, CERN, Brookhaven National Laboratory), and contributes to global efforts tied to experimental programs like Hyper-Kamiokande, SBND, ICARUS, JUNO, and theoretical networks including groups at Institute for Nuclear Theory and Perimeter Institute.
