We report a measurement of the flux-integrated cross section for inclusive muon neutrino charged-current interactions on carbon. The double differential measurements are given as function of the muon momentum and angle. Relative to our previous publication on this topic, these results have an increased angular acceptance and higher statistics. The data sample presented here corresponds to $5.7 times 10^{20}$ protons-on-target. The total flux-integrated cross section is measured to be $(6.950 pm 0.662) times 10^{-39}$ cm$^2$nucleon$^{-1}$ and is consistent with our simulation.

The electron (anti-)neutrino component of the T2K neutrino beam constitutes the largest background in the measurement of electron (anti-)neutrino appearance at the far detector. The electron neutrino scattering is measured directly with the T2K off-axis near detector, ND280. The selection of the electron (anti-)neutrino events in the plastic scintillator target from both neutrino and anti-neutrino mode beams is discussed in this paper. The flux integrated single differential charged-current inclusive electron (anti-)neutrino cross-sections, $dsigma/dp$ and $dsigma/dcos(theta)$, and the total cross-sections in a limited phase-space in momentum and scattering angle ($p > 300$ MeV/c and $theta leq 45^{circ}$) are measured using a binned maximum likelihood fit and compared to the neutrino Monte Carlo generator predictions, resulting in good agreement.
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.
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.
