Solar neutrinos can interact with the source isotope in neutrinoless double beta decay experiments through charged current and neutral current interactions. The charged-current product nucleus will then beta decay with a Q-value larger than the double beta decay Q-value. As a result, this process can populate the region of interest and be a background to the double beta decay signal. In this paper we estimate the solar neutrino capture rates on three commonly used double beta decay isotopes, uc{76}{Ge}, uc{130}{Te}, and uc{136}{Xe}. We then use the decay scheme of each product nucleus to estimate the possible background rates in those materials. As half-life sensitivities in future experiments approach $10^{28}$ y, this background will have to be considered.

ArgoNeuT, a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber in the NuMI beamline at Fermilab, has recently collected thousands of neutrino and anti-neutrino events between 0.1 and 10 GeV. The experiment will, among other things, measure the cross section of the
neutrino and anti-neutrino Charged Current Quasi-Elastic interaction and analyze the vertex activity associated with such events. These topics are discussed along with ArgoNeuTs automated reconstruction software, currently capable of fully reconstructing the muon and finding the event vertex in neutrino interactions.
Solar neutrinos interact within double-beta decay (BB) detectors and contribute to backgrounds for BB experiments. Background contributions due to charge-current solar neutrino interactions with BB nuclei of $^{76}$Ge, $^{82}$Se, $^{100}$Mo, $^{130}$
Te, $^{136}$Xe, and $^{150}$Nd are evaluated. They are shown to be significant for future high-sensitivity BB experiments that may search for Majorana neutrino masses in the inverted-hierarchy mass region. The impact of solar neutrino backgrounds and their reduction are discussed for future BB experiments.
We present measurements of the neutrino and antineutrino total charged-current cross sections on carbon and their ratio using the MINERvA scintillator-tracker. The measurements span the energy range 2-22 GeV and were performed using forward and rever
sed horn focusing modes of the Fermilab low-energy NuMI beam to obtain large neutrino and antineutrino samples. The flux is obtained using a sub-sample of charged-current events at low hadronic energy transfer along with precise higher energy external neutrino cross section data overlapping with our energy range between 12-22 GeV. We also report on the antineutrino-neutrino cross section ratio, Rcc, which does not rely on external normalization information. Our ratio measurement, obtained within the same experiment using the same technique, benefits from the cancellation of common sample systematic uncertainties and reaches a precision of 5% at low energy. Our results for the antineutrino-nucleus scattering cross section and for Rcc are the most precise to date in the energy range $E_{ u} <$ 6GeV.
A high-statistics sample of charged-current muon neutrino scattering events collected with the MiniBooNE experiment is analyzed to extract the first measurement of the double differential cross section ($frac{d^2sigma}{dT_mu dcostheta_mu}$) for charg
ed-current quasielastic (CCQE) scattering on carbon. This result features minimal model dependence and provides the most complete information on this process to date. With the assumption of CCQE scattering, the absolute cross section as a function of neutrino energy ($sigma[E_ u]$) and the single differential cross section ($frac{dsigma}{dQ^2}$) are extracted to facilitate comparison with previous measurements. These quantities may be used to characterize an effective axial-vector form factor of the nucleon and to improve the modeling of low-energy neutrino interactions on nuclear targets. The results are relevant for experiments searching for neutrino oscillations.
The Tokai to Kamioka (T2K) experiment is a 295-km long-baseline neutrino experiment aimed towards the measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters ${theta}_{13}$ and ${theta}_{23}$. Precise measurement of these parameters requires accurate knowledg
e of neutrino cross sections. We present a flux-averaged double differential measurement of the charged-current cross section on water with zero pions in the final state using the T2K off-axis near detector, ND280. A selection of $ u_mu$ charged- current events occurring in the Pi-Zero subdetector (P{O}D) of ND280 is performed with $5.8 times 10^{20}$ protons on target. The charged, outgoing tracks are required to enter and be identified by the ND280 Tracker. The cross section is determined using an unfolding technique. By separating the dataset into time periods when the P{O}D water layers are filled with water and when they are empty, a subtraction method provides a distribution of $ u_mu$ interactions on water only. Systematic uncertainties on the neutrino flux, interaction model, and detector simulation are propagated numerically within the unfolding framework.
