Dr Jaroslaw Nowak FHEA
Senior LecturerResearch Overview
My research interests are focused on neutrino physics: resonance excitations and pion production in neutrino-nucleus interactions; Nuclear effects in neutrino scattering; Hadron production in the neutrino scattering on free and bound nucleons; Neutrino magnetic moment search; Discrete symmetry violation. I am currently working on the T2K (Tokai to Kamioka) long-baseline neutrino experiments, on future Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), and on the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) programme as a member of two experiments (SBND and MicroBooNE). I am also interested in the development of neutrino Monte Carlo generator, and I was a primary author of NuWro generator and contributed to GENIE and Nuance generators.
