Flux-integrated inclusive and pionless cross sections for charged-current neutrino scattering off 40Ar at energies available in the MicroBooNE experiment
Abstract
In this work, we analyze the flux-integrated inclusive and pionless differential cross sections for neutrino scattering off argon. The cross sections are calculated using the relativistic distorted-wave impulse approximation (RDWIA), taking into account the contribution of the two-particle-two-hole (2p-2h) meson-exchange currents (MEC). We find that the measured single- and double-differential cross sections can be well described within the experimental uncertainties using this approach. We also compare the differential cross sections for pionless neutrino scattering on carbon and argon, measured with the Booster Neutrino Beam flux in the MiniBooNE and MicroBooNE experiments, to study nuclear effects in these nuclei.
