Measurement of Quasielastic-Like Neutrino Scattering at $left< E_ u right> sim 3.5$~ GeV on a Hydrocarbon Target


Abstract in English

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 dataset produced by $3.34times10^{20}$ protons on target creating a neutrino beam with a peak energy of approximately 3.5 GeV
