“…SciBooNE has also reported similar results [12]. The previous T2K off-axis CCQE measurement [13] was also consistent with a large effective M QE A . The T2K on-axis measurement [14] has large systematic uncertainties and is compatible with different values of M QE A , depending on whether only one muon track is reconstructed, or both the muon and proton tracks are reconstructed.…”

We report the measurement of muon neutrino charged-current interactions on carbon without pions in the final state at the T2K beam energy using 5.734 × 10 20 protons on target. For the first time the measurement is reported as a flux-integrated, double-differential cross section in muon kinematic variables (cos θ μ , p μ ), without correcting for events where a pion is produced and then absorbed by final state interactions. Two analyses are performed with different selections, background evaluations and cross-section extraction methods to demonstrate the robustness of the results against biases due to model-dependent assumptions. The measurements compare favorably with recent models which include nucleon-nucleon correlations but, given the present precision, the measurement does not distinguish among the available models. The data also agree with Monte Carlo simulations which use effective parameters that are tuned to external data to describe the nuclear effects. The total cross section in the full phase space is σ ¼ ð0.417 AE 0.047ðsystÞ AE 0.005ðstatÞÞ × 10 −38 cm 2 nucleon −1 and the cross section integrated in the region of phase space with largest efficiency and best signal-over-background ratio (cos θ μ > 0.6 and p μ > 200 MeV) is σ ¼ ð0.202 AE 0.036ðsystÞ AE 0.003ðstatÞÞ × 10 −38 cm 2 nucleon −1 .

“…While there are differential measurements of the CCQE cross sections on carbon or hydrocarbon [6][7][8][9][10], there are none on water. The K2K experiment has published a measurement of the axial vector mass in neutrino-oxygen CCQE interactions [11] using the SciFi detector, but not a differential cross section measurement.…”

This paper reports the first differential measurement of the charged-current interaction cross section of ν μ on water with no pions in the final state. This flux-averaged measurement has been made using the T2K experiment's off-axis near detector, and is reported in doubly differential bins of muon momentum and angle. The flux-averaged total cross section in a restricted region of phase space was found to be σ ¼ ð0.95 AE 0.08ðstatÞ AE 0.06ðdet systÞ AE 0.04ðmodel systÞ AE 0.08ðfluxÞÞ × 10 −38 cm 2 =n.

“…From now on, we rely on the SF approach to simulate CC QE events and employ a generalization of the standard formula (5) for the kinematic energy reconstruction [14]: in the case of mesonless events, we employ the invariant hadronic mass W = M , [17] and MiniBooNE [18,26] and the hydrocarbon measurements from MINERvA [23,24] and T2K [32,35]. For comparison, we also show the MiniBooNE data divided by 1.2.…”

Abstract. Future neutrino-oscillation experiments are expected to bring definite answers to the questions of neutrino-mass hierarchy and violation of charge-parity symmetry in the lepton sector. To realize this ambitious program it is necessary to ensure a significant reduction of uncertainties, particularly those related to neutrinoenergy reconstruction. In this review, we discuss different sources of systematic uncertainties, paying special attention to those arising from nuclear effects and detector response. By analyzing nuclear effects we show the importance of developing accurate theoretical models, capable to provide quantitative description of neutrino cross sections, together with the relevance of their implementation in Monte Carlo generators and extensive testing against lepton-scattering data. We also point out the fundamental role of efforts aiming to determine detector responses in test-beam exposures.
