Description
Neutrino oscillation physics is entering a precision era: current and future experiments are set to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and probe charge-parity violation in the lepton sector. Combining data across experiments offers a faster and more robust route to discovery, while also testing the consistency between them. One of the dominant uncertainties in oscillation measurements comes from our understanding of neutrino interactions with nuclei, so combining cross-section measurements from experiments operating at different energies and on different target materials is equally important. I will review approaches to combining both oscillation and cross-section data, their challenges, and the public data releases needed to make them possible in the first place. I will then present another route: MINERvA’s Open Data Product, a first-of-its-kind public data release in accelerator neutrino physics, analogous to the open-data archives of collider experiments. I will discuss the challenges of building such a release, its impact on the field so far, and how open data can help the community address uncertainties shared between experiments.
