Once upon a time... all neutrino observations were limited by stat’s, and systematics could be treated as numbers (normalization, bias ...) Now we have as many as O(106) events collected in SBL reactors, and we expect O(105) events in each of JUNO, ORCA, PINGU etc. Systematic errors are no longer “numbers” but become “functions”. Dedicated approaches are needed to deal with such uncertainties. [This transition has already taken place in other fields, such as in parton distribution function fits and precision cosmology forecasts.] Unprecedented challenges are awaiting us in neutrino data analyses: We must be prepared to deal with “functions” which ideally should be known in size, shape, correlations and probability distributions, but in practice may also be partly (if not completely!) unknown.
Oscilla^ons: A glimpse of upcoming challenges...
Hard lesson learned from current reactor experiments: An unknown systematic error source (function) δΦ δΦ(E), well beyond supposedly-known shape uncertainties!
Now we know its shape, and can correct for it, but residuals do remain: energy-scale uncertainties E à E’(E) (x-axis “stretch”) flux-shape uncertainties Φ (E) à Φ’(E) (y-axis “stretch”)
