The measured cross sections on water, hydrocarbon, and iron are σ H2O CC = (0.840±0.010(stat.) +0.10 −0.08(syst.))×10−38 cm2/nucleon, σCH CC = (0.817±0.007(stat.) +0.11 −0.08(syst.))× 10−38 cm2/nucleon, and σFe CC = (0.859 ± 0.003(stat.) +0.12 −0.10(syst.)) × 10−38 cm2/nucleon, respectively, for a restricted phase space of induced muons: θμ < 45◦ and pμ >0.4 GeV/c in the laboratory frame. The measured cross section ratios are σ H2O CC /σ CH CC = 1.028 ± 0.016(stat.) ± 0.053(syst.), σFe CC/σ H2O CC = 1.023 ± 0.012(stat.) ± 0.058(syst.), and σFe CC/σ CH CC = 1.049 ± 0.010(stat.) ± 0.043(syst.). These results, with an unprecedented precision for the measurements of neutrino cross sections on water in the studied energy region, show good agreement with the current neutrino interaction models used in the T2K oscillation analyses.
