We report a measurement of the ν μ -nucleus inclusive charged-current cross section (¼ σ cc ) on iron using data from the INGRID detector exposed to the J-PARC neutrino beam. The detector consists of 14 modules in total, which are spread over a range of off-axis angles from 0°to 1.1°. The variation in the neutrino energy spectrum as a function of the off-axis angle, combined with event topology information, is used to calculate this cross section as a function of neutrino energy. The cross section is measured to be σ cc ð1.1 GeVÞ ¼ 1.10 AE 0.15 ð10 −38 cm 2 =nucleonÞ, σ cc ð2.0 GeVÞ ¼ 2.07 AE 0.27 ð10 −38 cm 2 =nucleonÞ, and σ cc ð3.3 GeVÞ ¼ 2.29 AE 0.45 ð10 −38 cm 2 =nucleonÞ, at energies of 1.1, 2.0, and 3.3 GeV, respectively. These results are consistent with the cross section calculated by the neutrino interaction generators currently used by T2K. More importantly, the method described here opens up a new way to determine the energy dependence of neutrino-nucleus cross sections.

The T2K off-axis near detector, ND280, is used to make the first differential cross-section measurements of electron neutrino charged current interactions at energies ∼1 GeV as a function of electron momentum, electron scattering angle and four-momentum transfer of the interaction. The total flux-averaged νe charged current cross-section on carbon is measured to be σ φ = 1.11 ± 0.09 (stat) ± 0.18 (syst) × 10 −38 cm 2 /nucleon. The differential and total crosssection measurements agree with the predictions of two leading neutrino interaction generators, 3 NEUT and GENIE. The NEUT prediction is 1.23 × 10 −38 cm 2 /nucleon and the GENIE prediction is 1.08 × 10 −38 cm 2 /nucleon. The total νe charged current cross-section result is also in agreement with data from the Gargamelle experiment.PACS numbers: 14.60. Pq, 14.60.Lm, 25.30.Pt, 29.40.Ka Introduction-T2K is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment measuring ν e appearance and ν µ disappearance from a ν µ beam. Neutrino oscillations are described by a mixing matrix parametrized by three mixing angles and a CP violating phase, δ CP [1,2]. The three mixing angles have been measured to better than 10% precision [3], and measuring δ CP is currently a major goal in neutrino physics [4].Future ν e appearance measurements can be used to search for CP violation in neutrino interactions, and these rely on precise understanding of both ν µ and ν e charged-current (CC) interaction cross-sections at energies ∼1 GeV. Many ν µ cross-section measurements have been made at the GeV scale, both of the total CC inclusive cross-section and of individual interaction modes (see Ref.[5] for a review of cross-section data, and Refs. [6][7][8] for recent results). Only the Gargamelle experiment has measured the ν e CC inclusive cross-section at the GeV scale [9], and there are currently no ν e differential crosssection results as a function of the electron kinematics. Theoretical differences are expected between ν e and ν µ cross-sections [10], and measuring these with data is critical to understand the systematic uncertainties related to the search for CP violation in the lepton sector. The uncertainty in ν e cross-sections will become increasingly important in future oscillation experiments as statistical and other systematic uncertainties are reduced.In this Letter we present the first ν e CC inclusive differential cross-section measurements for neutrinos with energy ∼1 GeV as a function of the electron momentum (p e ), electron scattering angle (cos(θ e )) and the fourmomentum transfer of the interaction (Q 2 ). The total flux-averaged CC inclusive cross-section is also presented.T2K Experiment-T2K [11] operates from the J-PARC facility in Tokai, Japan. A muon neutrino beam is produced from the decay of charged pions and kaons generated by 30 GeV proton collisions on a graphite target and focused by three magnetic horns. Downstream of the horns is the decay volume, 96 meters in length, followed by the beam dump and muon monitors (MUMON [12]). The neutrino beam illuminates ...

“…Uncertainties on the proton beam properties, horn current, hadron production model and alignment are taken into account to produce an energy-dependent systematic uncertainty on the neutrino flux. Flux tuning using NA61/SHINE data [46,50,53] reduces the uncertainty on the overall normalization of the integrated flux to 8.5%.…”

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 .
