Measurement of the inclusive electron neutrino charged current cross section on carbon with the T2K near detector.

چکیده
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 ν(e) charged current cross section on carbon is measured to be ⟨σ⟩(ϕ)=1.11±0.10(stat)±0.18(syst)×10⁻³⁸ cm²/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 1.23×10⁻³⁸ cm²/nucleon and the GENIE prediction is 1.08×10⁻³⁸ cm²/nucleon. The total ν(e) charged current cross-section result is also in agreement with data from the Gargamelle experiment.

متن کاملHadron production measurement from NA61/SHINE
New results of NA61/SHINE on determination of charged hadron yields in proton-carbon interactions are presented. They aim to improve predictions of the neutrino flux in the T2K experiment. The data were recorded using a secondary-proton beam of 31 GeV/c momentum from CERN SPS which impinges on a graphite target. To determine the inclusive production cross section for charged pions, kaons and pr...
متن کاملMeasurement of charged pion and kaon production in proton-carbon interaction at 31 GeV/c from NA61/SHINE
An overview of the recent NA61/SHINE results on determination of charged pion and kaon yields in proton-carbon reactions is presented. The results aim to improve predictions of the neutrino flux in the T2K experiment. The data were recorded during the first physics run of NA61 in 2007 where a proton beam of 31 GeV/c momentum scattered off a graphite target. Thin target, 4% of a nuclear interact...
متن کاملInclusive and pion production neutrino-nucleus cross sections
We analyze the experimental data on the inclusive double-differential cross section by neutrinos charged current, measured by T2K, with the same model which was successful for the MiniBooNE quasielastic cross sections. As in our previous analysis the multinucleon component is needed in order to reproduce the data. For the total cross section, our evaluation is smaller than the SciBooNE data abo...
متن کاملMeasurement of Charged Current Charged Single Pion Production in SciBooNE
Neutrino-induced charged current single charged pion production (CC-1π) is dominated by baryonic resonance excitation off a single nucleon bound in a nucleus in the neutrino energy region of a few GeV. The resonance state is followed by its prompt decay into a nucleon and a pion in the final state. The process is written as νμN → μ Nπ, where N is proton or neutron. In addition to this reaction,...
