Title: Direct Measurement of Nuclear Dependence of Charged Current Quasielasticlike Neutrino Interactions Using MINERvA

Abstract

Charged-current ν_μ interactions on carbon, iron, and lead with a final state hadronic system of one or more protons with zero mesons are used to investigate the influence of the nuclear environment on quasielasticlike interactions. The transferred four-momentum squared to the target nucleus, Q², is reconstructed based on the kinematics of the leading proton, and differential cross sections versus Q² and the cross-section ratios of iron, lead, and carbon to scintillator are measured for the first time in a single experiment. The measurements show a dependence on the atomic number. While the quasielasticlike scattering on carbon is compatible with predictions, the trends exhibited by scattering on iron and lead favor a prediction with intranuclear rescattering of hadrons accounted for by a conventional particle cascade treatment. Furthermore, these measurements help discriminate between different models of both initial state nucleons and final state interactions used in the neutrino oscillation experiments.

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

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

Muon neutrino charged current single pion production on various targets in the MINERvA detector

Thesis/Dissertation Bercellie, Aaron

Measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters at accelerator-based experiments require precise knowledge of neutrino interaction cross sections. A significant fraction of neutrino interactions observed in these experiments produce single charged pions. While single charged pion production has been measured on hydrocarbon and water, few precise measurements exist for heavier targets, and there are no high statistics measurements that directly compare pion production on different targets. This thesis measures differential cross sections of muon neutrino charged current single charged pion production with no other mesons in the final state in a neutrinobeam with a mean energy of ≈ 6 GeV.

From light neutrino decay phenomenology to muon neutrino cross-section measurement at MINERvA experiment

Thesis/Dissertation Ascencio-Sosa, Marvin Vladimir

This thesis tackles two essential topics of neutrino physics: neutrino decay and neutrino cross-section measurement. First, the invisible and visible neutrino decay is analyzed through a phenomenological approach, considering future long-baseline neutrino experiments such as DUNE and a hypothetical neutrino beam toward the ANDES laboratory. The study takes into account the ν_μ and ν_e disappearance and appearance, respectively, for both FHC and RHC flux modes. The results showed a negligible matter effect for DUNE but significantly more notable at ANDES. At 90% C.L., the sensitivity to the decay parameter α3 can be as small as 2 × 10^-6 eV² for a chosen coupling. The impact of neutrino decay in the determination of θ₂₃ and δ_CP were also shown. Second, the double-differential cross-section measurement for ν_μ-carbon interactions with three-momentum transfer |more »« less

Measurement of Muon Neutrino Charged Current Single $$\pi^0$$ Production on Hydrocarbon using MINERvA

Thesis/Dissertation Altinok, Ozgur

A sample of charged-current single pion production events for the semi- exclusive channel ν_µ + CH → µ^-π⁰ + nucleon(s) has been obtained using neutrino exposures of the MINERvA detector. Differential cross sections for muon momentum, muon production angle, pion momentum, pion production angle, and four-momentum transfer square Q² are reported and are compared to a GENIE-based simulation. The cross section versus neutrino energy is also re- ported. The effects of pion final-state interactions on these cross sections are investigated. The effect of baryon resonance suppression at low Q² is examined and an event re-weight used by two previous experiments is shown to improve the data versus simulation agreement. The differential cross sections for Q² for Eν < 4.0 GeV and E_ν ≥ 4.0 GeV are examined and the shapes of these distributions are compared to those from the experiment’smore »« less
