We report measurements of the flux-integrated $bar{ u}_mu$ and $bar{ u}_mu+ u_mu$ charged-current cross-sections on water and hydrocarbon targets using the T2K anti-neutrino beam, with a mean neutrino energy of 0.86 GeV. The signal is defined as the (anti-)neutrino charged-current interaction with one induced $mu^pm$ and no detected charged pion nor proton. These measurements are performed using a new WAGASCI module recently added to the T2K setup in combination with the INGRID Proton module. The phase space of muons is restricted to the high-detection efficiency region, $p_{mu}>400~{rm MeV}/c$ and $theta_{mu}<30^{circ}$, in the laboratory frame. Absence of pions and protons in the detectable phase space of $p_{pi}>200~{rm MeV}/c$ and $theta_{pi}<70^{circ}$, and $p_{rm p}>600~{rm MeV}/c$ and $theta_{rm p}<70^{circ}$ is required. In this paper, both of the $bar{ u}_mu$ cross-sections and $bar{ u}_mu+ u_mu$ cross-sections on water and hydrocarbon targets, and their ratios are provided by using DAgostini unfolding method. The results of the integrated $bar{ u}_mu$ cross-section measurements over this phase space are $sigma_{rm H_{2}O},=,(1.082pm0.068(rm stat.)^{+0.145}_{-0.128}(rm syst.)) times 10^{-39}~{rm cm^{2}/nucleon}$, $sigma_{rm CH},=,(1.096pm0.054(rm stat.)^{+0.132}_{-0.117}(rm syst.)) times 10^{-39}~{rm cm^{2}/nucleon}$, and $sigma_{rm H_{2}O}/sigma_{rm CH} = 0.987pm0.078(rm stat.)^{+0.093}_{-0.090}(rm syst.)$. The $bar{ u}_mu+ u_mu$ cross-section is $sigma_{rm H_{2}O} = (1.155pm0.064(rm stat.)^{+0.148}_{-0.129}(rm syst.)) times 10^{-39}~{rm cm^{2}/nucleon}$, $sigma_{rm CH},=,(1.159pm0.049(rm stat.)^{+0.129}_{-0.115}(rm syst.)) times 10^{-39}~{rm cm^{2}/nucleon}$, and $sigma_{rm H_{2}O}/sigma_{rm CH},=,0.996pm0.069(rm stat.)^{+0.083}_{-0.078}(rm syst.)$.

This paper reports the track multiplicity and kinematics of muons, charged pions, and protons from charged-current inclusive $bar{ u}_{mu}$ and $ u_{mu}$ interactions on a water target, measured using a nuclear emulsion detector in the NINJA experiment. A 3-kg water target was exposed to the T2K antineutrino-enhanced beam with a mean energy of 1.3 GeV. Owing to the high-granularity of the nuclear emulsion, protons with momenta down to 200 MeV/$c$ from the neutrino-water interactions were detected. We find good agreement between the observed data and model predictions for all kinematic distributions other than the number of charged pions. These results demonstrate the capability of measurements with nuclear emulsion to improve neutrino interaction models.
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 $Rleft(frac{sigma(bar{ u})}{sigma( u)}right)= 0.373pm0.012{rm (stat.)}pm0.015{rm (syst.)}$.

The antineutrino scattering channel $bar{ u}_{mu} ,text{CH} rightarrow mu^{+} ,pi^{-} ,X$(nucleon(s)) is analyzed in the incident energy range 1.5 to 10 GeV using the MINERvA detector at Fermilab. Differential cross sections are reported as functions of $mu^{+}$ momentum and production angle, $pi^{-}$ kinetic energy and production angle, and antineutrino energy and squared four-momentum transfer. Distribution shapes are generally reproduced by simulations based on the GENIE, NuWro, and GiBUU event generators, however GENIE (GiBUU) overestimates (underestimates) the cross-section normalizations by 8% (10%). Comparisons of data with the GENIE-based reference simulation probe conventional treatments of cross sections and pion intranuclear rescattering. The distribution of non-track vertex energy is used to decompose the signal sample into reaction categories, and cross sections are determined for the exclusive reactions $mu^{+} pi^{-} n$ and $ mu^+ pi^{-} p$. A similar treatment applied to the published MINERvA sample $bar{ u}_{mu} ,text{CH} rightarrow mu^{+} ,pi^{0} ,X$(nucleon(s)) has determined the $mu^{+} pi^{0} n$ cross section, and the latter is used with $sigma(pi^{-} n)$ and $sigma(pi^{-} p)$ to carry out an isospin decomposition of $bar{ u}_{mu}$-induced CC($pi$). The ratio of magnitudes and relative phase for isospin amplitudes $A_{3}$ and $A_{1}$ thereby obtained are: $R^{bar{ u}} = 0.99 pm 0.19$ and $phi^{bar{ u}} = 93^{circ} pm 7^{circ}$. Our results are in agreement with bubble chamber measurements made four decades ago.
The ArgoNeuT collaboration reports the first measurement of neutral current $pi^{0}$ production in $ u_{mu}$-argon and $bar{ u}_{mu}$-argon scattering. This measurement was performed using the ArgoNeuT liquid argon time projection chamber deployed at Fermilabs NuMI neutrino beam with an exposure corresponding to 1.2$times 10^{20}$ protons-on-target from the Fermilab Main Injector and a mean energy for $ u_{mu}$ of 9.6~GeV and for $bar{ u}_{mu}$ of 3.6~GeV. We compare the measured cross section and kinematic distributions to predictions from the GENIE and NuWro neutrino interaction event generators.

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.
