We report a measurement of the $ u_mu$ inclusive charged current cross sections on iron and hydrocarbon in the T2K on-axis neutrino beam. The measured inclusive charged current cross sections on iron and hydrocarbon averaged over the T2K on-axis flux with a mean neutrino energy of 1.51 GeV are $(1.444pm0.002(stat.)_{-0.157}^{+0.189}(syst.))times 10^{-38}mathrm{cm}^2/mathrm{nucleon}$, and $(1.379pm0.009(stat.)_{-0.147}^{+0.178}(syst.))times 10^{-38}mathrm{cm}^2/mathrm{nucleon}$, respectively, and their cross section ratio is $1.047pm0.007(stat.)pm0.035(syst.)$. These results agree well with the predictions of the neutrino interaction model, and thus we checked the correct treatment of the nuclear effect for iron and hydrocarbon targets in the model within the measurement precisions.
We report a measurement of the $ u_mu$ charged current quasi-elastic cross-sections on carbon in the T2K on-axis neutrino beam. The measured charged current quasi-elastic cross-sections on carbon at mean neutrino energies of 1.94 GeV and 0.93 GeV are $(11.95pm 0.19(stat.)_{-1.47}^{+1.82} (syst.))times 10^{-39}mathrm{cm}^2/mathrm{neutron}$ and $(10.64pm 0.37(stat.)_{-1.65}^{+2.03} (syst.))times 10^{-39}mathrm{cm}^2/mathrm{neutron}$, respectively. These results agree well with the predictions of neutrino interaction models. In addition, we investigated the effects of the nuclear model and the multi-nucleon interaction.
We report a measurement of the flux-integrated $ u_{mu}$ charged-current cross sections on water, hydrocarbon, and iron in the T2K on-axis neutrino beam with a mean neutrino energy of 1.5 GeV. The measured cross sections on water, hydrocarbon, and iron are $sigma^{rm{H_{2}O}}_{rm{CC}}$ = (0.840$pm 0.010$(stat.)$^{+0.10}_{-0.08}$(syst.))$times$10$^{-38}$cm$^2$/nucleon, $sigma^{rm{CH}}_{rm{CC}}$ = (0.817$pm 0.007$(stat.)$^{+0.11}_{-0.08}$(syst.))$times$10$^{-38}$cm$^2$/nucleon, and $sigma^{rm{Fe}}_{rm{CC}}$ = (0.859$pm 0.003$(stat.) $^{+0.12}_{-0.10}$(syst.))$times$10$^{-38}$cm$^2$/nucleon respectively, for a restricted phase space of induced muons: $theta_{mu}<45^{circ}$ and $p_{mu}>$0.4 GeV/$c$ in the laboratory frame. The measured cross section ratios are ${sigma^{rm{H_{2}O}}_{rm{CC}}}/{sigma^{rm{CH}}_{rm{CC}}}$ = 1.028$pm 0.016$(stat.)$pm 0.053$(syst.), ${sigma^{rm{Fe}}_{rm{CC}}}/{sigma^{rm{H_{2}O}}_{rm{CC}}}$ = 1.023$pm 0.012$(stat.)$pm 0.058$(syst.), and ${sigma^{rm{Fe}}_{rm{CC}}}/{sigma^{rm{CH}}_{rm{CC}}}$ = 1.049$pm 0.010$(stat.)$pm 0.043$(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.
The T2K off-axis near detector, ND280, is used to make the first differential cross-section measurements of electron neutrino charged current interactions at energies ~1 GeV as a function of electron momentum, electron scattering angle and four-momentum transfer of the interaction. The total flux-averaged $ u_e$ charged current cross-section on carbon is measured to be $1.11pm0.09~(stat)pm0.18~(syst)times10^{-38} cm^2/nucleon$. The differential and total cross-section measurements agree with the predictions of two leading neutrino interaction generators, NEUT and GENIE. The NEUT prediction is $1.23times10^{-38} cm^2/nucleon$ and the GENIE prediction is $1.08times10^{-38} cm^2/nucleon$. The total $ u_e$ charged current cross-section result is also in agreement with data from the Gargamelle experiment.
We report a measurement of cross section $sigma( u_{mu}+{rm nucleus}rightarrowmu^{-}+X)$ and the first measurements of the cross section $sigma(bar{ u}_{mu}+{rm nucleus}rightarrowmu^{+}+X)$ and their ratio $R(frac{sigma(bar u)}{sigma( u)})$ at (anti-)neutrino energies below 1.5 GeV. We determine the single momentum bin cross section measurements, averaged over the T2K $bar{ u}/ u$-flux, for the detector target material (mainly Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen and Copper) with phase space restricted laboratory frame kinematics of $theta_{mu}<32^circ$ and $p_{mu}>$500 MeV/c. The results are $sigma(bar{ u})=left( 0.900pm0.029{rm (stat.)}pm0.088{rm (syst.)}right)times10^{-39}$ and $sigma( u)=left( 2.41 pm0.022{rm{(stat.)}}pm0.231{rm (syst.)} right)times10^{-39}$ in units of cm$^{2}$/nucleon and $Rleft(frac{sigma(bar{ u})}{sigma( u)}right)= 0.373pm0.012{rm (stat.)}pm0.015{rm (syst.)}$.
T2K has performed the first measurement of u{mu} inclusive charged current interactions on carbon at neutrino energies of ~1 GeV where the measurement is reported as a flux-averaged double differential cross section in muon momentum and angle. The flux is predicted by the beam Monte Carlo and external data, including the results from the NA61/SHINE experiment. The data used for this measurement were taken in 2010 and 2011, with a total of 10.8 x 10^{19} protons-on-target. The analysis is performed on 4485 inclusive charged current interaction candidates selected in the most upstream fine-grained scintillator detector of the near detector. The flux-averaged total cross section is <sigma_CC>_phi =(6.91 +/- 0.13 (stat) +/- 0.84 (syst)) x10^{-39} cm^2/nucleon for a mean neutrino energy of 0.85 GeV.
