Abstract

MINERvA presents a new analysis of neutrino induced quasielastic-like interactions in a hydrocarbon tracking target. We report a double-differential cross section using the muon transverse and longitudinal momentum. In addition, differential cross sections as a function of the square of the four-momentum transferred and the neutrino energy are calculated using a quasielastic hypothesis. Finally, an analysis of energy deposited near the interaction vertex is presented. These results are compared to modified genie predictions as well as a NuWro prediction. All results use a data set produced by 3.34×1020 protons on target creating a neutrino beam with a peak energy of approximately 3.5 GeV.

Abstract

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 incorporates nuclear effects such as weak nuclear screening and two-particle, two-hole enhancements.

Abstract

Separate samples of charged-current pion production events representing two semi-inclusive channels ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{CC}({\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+})$ and ${\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{CC}({\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0})$ have been obtained using neutrino and antineutrino exposures of the MINERvA detector. Distributions in kinematic variables based upon ${\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$-track reconstructions are analyzed and compared for the two samples. The differential cross sections for muon production angle, muon momentum, and four-momentum transfer ${Q}^{2}$ are reported, and cross sections versus neutrino energy are obtained. Comparisons with predictions of current neutrino event generators are used to clarify the role of the $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}(1232)$ and higher-mass baryon resonances in CC pion production and to show the importance of pion final-state interactions. For the ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{CC}({\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+})$ [${\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{CC}({\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0})$] sample, the absolute data rate is observed to lie below (above) the predictions of some of the event generators by amounts that are typically 1-to- $2\ensuremath{\sigma}$. However the generators are able to reproduce the shapes of the differential cross sections for all kinematic variables of either data set.

Abstract

Production of K+ mesons in charged-current νμ interactions on plastic scintillator (CH) is measured using MINERvA exposed to the low-energy NuMI beam at Fermilab. Timing information is used to isolate a sample of 885 charged-current events containing a stopping K+ which decays at rest. The differential cross section in K+ kinetic energy, dσ/dTK, is observed to be relatively flat between 0 and 500 MeV. As a result, its shape is in good agreement with the prediction by the genie neutrino event generator when final-state interactions are included, however the data rate is lower than the prediction by 15%.

Abstract

Here, the MINERvA Collaboration reports a novel study of neutrino-nucleus charged-current deep inelastic scattering (DIS) using the same neutrino beam incident on targets of polystyrene, graphite, iron, and lead. Results are presented as ratios of C, Fe, and Pb to CH. The ratios of total DIS cross sections as a function of neutrino energy and flux-integrated differential cross sections as a function of the Bjorken scaling variable x are presented in the neutrino-energy range of 5–50 GeV. Based on the predictions of charged-lepton scattering ratios, good agreement is found between the data and prediction at medium x and low neutrino energy. However, the ratios appear to be below predictions in the vicinity of the nuclear shadowing region, x < 0.1. This apparent deficit, reflected in the DIS cross-section ratio at high Eν, is consistent with previous MINERvA observations [B. Tice (MINERvA Collaboration), Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 231801 (2014).] and with the predicted onset of nuclear shadowing with the axial-vector current in neutrino scattering.

Abstract

Charged pion production via charged-current ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}$ interactions on plastic scintillator (CH) is studied using the MINERvA detector exposed to the NuMI wideband neutrino beam at Fermilab. Events with hadronic invariant mass $Wl1.4\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$ and $Wl1.8\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$ are selected in separate analyses: the lower $W$ cut isolates single pion production, which is expected to occur primarily through the $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}(1232)$ resonance, while results from the higher cut include the effects of higher resonances. Cross sections as functions of pion angle and kinetic energy are compared to predictions from theoretical calculations and generator-based models for neutrinos ranging in energy from 1.5--10 GeV. The data are best described by calculations which include significant contributions from pion intranuclear rescattering. These measurements constrain the primary interaction rate and the role of final state interactions in pion production, both of which need to be well understood by neutrino oscillation experiments.
