“…The cross sections of these events are less well understood. While measurements in this energy range exist, they are primarily from bubble chambers in which the target material is very different from the far detector rock: hydrogen, deuterium [73,74,75,76], neon [77], or hydrocarbon/halogenated hydrocarbon mixtures [78,79,80].…”

The Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) observes the disappearance of muon neutrinos as they propagate in the long baseline Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) beam. MINOS consists of two detectors. The near detector samples the initial composition of the beam. The far detector, 735 km away, looks for an energy-dependent deficit in the neutrino spectrum. This energy-dependent deficit is interpreted as quantum mechanical oscillations between neutrino flavors. A measurement is made of the effective two-neutrino mixing parameters ∆m 2 ≈ ∆m 2 23 and sin 2 2θ ≈ sin 2 2θ23. The primary MINOS analysis uses charged current events in the fiducial volume of the far detector. This analysis uses the roughly equal-sized sample of events that fails the fiducial cut, consisting of interactions outside the fiducial region of the detector and in the surrounding rock. These events provide an independent and complementary measurement, albeit weaker due to incomplete reconstruction of the events. This analysis reports on an exposure of 7.25×10 20 protons-on-target. Due to poor energy resolution, the measurement of sin 2 2θ is much weaker than established results, but the measurement of sin 2 2θ > 0.56 at 90% confidence is consistent with the accepted value. The measurement of ∆m 2 is much stronger. Assuming sin 2 2θ = 1, ∆m 2 = (2.20 ± 0.18[stat] ± 0.14[syst]) × 10 −3 eV 2 .

We calculate the neutrino induced cross sections relevant for oscillation experiments, including the -lepton threshold for quasielastic, resonance and deep-inelastic scattering. In addition to threshold effects, we include nuclear corrections for heavy targets which are moderate for quasielastic and large for single pion production. The nuclear effects for deep-inelastic reactions are small. We present cross sections together with their nuclear corrections for various channels which are useful for interpreting the experimental results and for determining parameters of the neutrino sector. Finally, we calculate the -lepton event rates for the OPERA LBL experiment.
