MINERvA Muon AntiNeutrino CCQE Cross Sections for the QE-like Signal Definition

generated for v37 on Tue, 04 Sep 2018 02:37:34
Units are 10^-41 cm^2
The QE-like signal definition is a fiducial one, with a cut on the produced muon’s angle at 20 degrees from the neutrino beam direction. The signal is defined after all final state interactions in the nucleus have occured. No produced final state pions are allowed and no protons with KE > 120 MeV. This is similar to the CCQE0pi definition used by MiniBooNE and others except for these ficucial requirements which restrict the produced events to regions where MINERvA has good acceptance.

MINERvA Muon AntiNeutrino CCQE Cross Sections for the ccqe Signal Definition
generated for v37 on Tue, 04 Sep 2018 02:48:55
Units are 10^-41 cm^2
The “ccqe” signal definition has a cut on the produced muon’s angle at 20 degrees from the neutrino beam direction. The interaction inside the nucleus is required to be either a pure charged current interaction on a nucleon or a 2p2h interaction.
