Measurement of the μ charged current π+ to quasi-elastic cross section ratio on mineral oil in a 0.8 GeV neutrino beam
Abstract
Using high statistics samples of charged current μ interactions, MiniBooNE reports a measurement of the single charged pion production to quasi-elastic cross section ratio on mineral oil (CH2), both with and without corrections for hadron re-interactions in the target nucleus. The result is provided as a function of neutrino energy in the range 0.4 GeV < E < 2.4 GeV with 11% precision in the region of highest statistics. The results are consistent with previous measurements and the prediction from historical neutrino calculations.
