Title: Measurement of Muon Antineutrino Quasielastic Scattering on a Hydrocarbon Target at E_ν~3.5 GeV

Abstract

We have isolated ν¯_μ charged-current quasielastic (QE) interactions occurring in the segmented scintillator tracking region of the MINERvA detector running in the NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab. We measure the flux-averaged differential cross section, dσ/dQ², and compare to several theoretical models of QE scattering. Good agreement is obtained with a model where the nucleon axial mass, M_A, is set to 0.99 GeV/c² but the nucleon vector form factors are modified to account for the observed enhancement, relative to the free nucleon case, of the cross section for the exchange of transversely polarized photons in electron-nucleus scattering. Our data at higher Q² favor this interpretation over an alternative in which the axial mass is increased.

Measurement of Muon Neutrino Quasielastic Scattering on a Hydrocarbon Target at E_ν~3.5 GeV

Journal Article Fiorentini, G. A. ; Schmitz, D. W. ; Rodrigues, P. A. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We report a study of ν_μ charged-current quasielastic events in the segmented scintillator inner tracker of the MINERvA experiment running in the NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab. The events were selected by requiring a μ⁻ and low calorimetric recoil energy separated from the interaction vertex. We measure the flux-averaged differential cross section, dσ/dQ², and study the low energy particle content of the final state. Deviations are found between the measured dσ/dQ² and the expectations of a model of independent nucleons in a relativistic Fermi gas. We also observe an excess of energy near the vertex consistent with multiple protons inmore » the final state.« less

Measurement of the muon antineutrino double-differential cross section for quasielastic-like scattering on hydrocarbon at $E_{ν} \sim 3.5 GeV$

Journal Article Patrick, C. E. ; Aliaga, L. ; Bashyal, A. ; ... - Physical Review D

We present double-differential measurements of antineutrino charged-current quasielastic scattering in the MINERvA detector. This study improves on a previous single-differential measurement by using updated reconstruction algorithms and interaction models and provides a complete description of observed muon kinematics in the form of a double-differential cross section with respect to muon transverse and longitudinal momentum. We include in our signal definition zero-meson final states arising from multinucleon interactions and from resonant pion production followed by pion absorption in the primary nucleus. We find that model agreement is considerably improved by a model tuned to MINERvA inclusive neutrino scattering data that incorporatesmore »« less

Measurement of electron neutrino quasielastic and quasielasticlike scattering on hydrocarbon at $$\langle E_{\nu} \rangle $$ = 3.6 GeV

Journal Article Wolcott, J. - Physical Review Letters

The first direct measurement of electron neutrino quasielastic and quasielasticlike scattering on hydrocarbon in the few-GeV region of incident neutrino energy has been carried out using the MINERvA detector in the NuMI beam at Fermilab. The flux-integrated differential cross sections in the electron production angle, electron energy, and Q² are presented. The ratio of the quasielastic, flux-integrated differential cross section in Q² for ν_e with that of similarly selected ν_μ-induced events from the same exposure is used to probe assumptions that underpin conventional treatments of charged-current νe interactions used by long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. Furthermore, the data are found tomore »« less

High-Statistics Measurement of Neutrino Quasielasticlike Scattering at 6 GeV on a Hydrocarbon Target

Journal Article Carneiro, M. F. ; Ruterbories, D. ; Ahmad Dar, Z. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We measure neutrino charged current quasielastic-like scattering on hydrocarbon at high statistics using the wide-band NuMI beam with neutrino energy peaked at 6 GeV. The double-differential cross section is reported in terms of muon longitudinal (p∥) and transverse (p⊥) momentum. Cross-section contours versus lepton momentum components are approximately described by a conventional generator-based simulation, however discrepancies are observed for transverse momenta above0.5 GeV/c for longitudinal momentum ranges 3 to 5 GeV/c and 9 to 20 GeV/c. The single differential cross section versus momentum transfer squared (dσ/dQ^2_{QE)} is measured over a four-decade range of Q^2 that extends to 10GeV^2. The crossmore »« less

Measurement of $ν_{μ}$ charged-current single $π^{0}$ production on hydrocarbon in the few-GeV region using MINERvA

Journal Article Altinok, O. ; Le, T. ; Aliaga, L. ; ... - Physical Review D

In this paper, the semiexclusive channel ν_μ + CH → μ^–π⁰ + nucleon(s) is analyzed using MINERvA exposed to the low-energy NuMI ν_μ beam with spectral peak at E_ν ≃ 3 GeV. Differential cross sections for muon momentum and production angle, π⁰ kinetic energy and production angle, and for squared four-momentum transfer are reported, and the cross section σ(E_ν) is obtained over the range 1.5 GeV ≤ E_ν < 20 GeV. Results are compared to GENIE and NuWro predictions and to published MINERvA cross sections for charged-current π⁺(π⁰) production by ν_μ(¯ν_μ) neutrinos. Disagreements between data and simulation are observed atmore »« less
