@misc{10481/65096, year = {2020}, month = {11}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10481/65096}, abstract = {We report on the first measurement of flux-integrated single differential cross sections for chargedcurrent (CC) muon neutrino (νμ) scattering on argon with a muon and a proton in the final state, 40Ar ðνμ; μpÞX. The measurement was carried out using the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber detector with an exposure of 4.59 × 1019 protons on target. Events are selected to enhance the contribution of CC quasielastic (CCQE) interactions. The data are reported in terms of a total cross section as well as single differential cross sections in final state muon and proton kinematics.We measure the integrated per-nucleus CCQE-like cross section (i.e., for interactions leading to a muon, one proton, and no pions above detection threshold) of ð4.93 0.76stat 1.29sysÞ × 10−38 cm2, in good agreement with theoretical calculations. The single differential cross sections are also in overall good agreement with theoretical predictions, except at very forward muon scattering angles that correspond to low-momentum-transfer events.}, organization = {United States Department of Energy (DOE)}, organization = {National Science Foundation (NSF)}, organization = {Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)}, organization = {Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), part of the United Kingdom Research and Innovation}, organization = {Royal Society of London}, organization = {Albert Einstein Center for Fundamental Physics, Bern, Switzerland}, organization = {Azrieli Foundation}, organization = {Zuckerman STEM Leadership Program}, organization = {Israel Science Foundation}, organization = {Visiting Scholars Award Program of the Universities Research Association}, organization = {DE-AC02-07CH11359}, publisher = {Amer Physical Soc}, title = {First Measurement of Differential Charged Current Quasielasticlike νμ-Argon Scattering Cross Sections with the MicroBooNE Detector}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.201803}, author = {MicroBooNE Collaboration and Abratenko, P. and García Gámez, Diego}, }
