Abstract

We report a study of Î½Î¼ charged-current quasielastic events in the segmented scintillator inner tracker of the MINERvA experiment running in the NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab. The events were selected by requiring a Î¼- and low calorimetric recoil energy separated from the interaction vertex. We measure the flux-averaged differential cross section, dÏƒ/dQ2, and study the low energy particle content of the final state. Deviations are found between the measured dÏƒ/dQ2 and the expectations of a model of independent nucleons in a relativistic Fermi gas. We also observe an excess of energy near the vertex consistent with multiple protons in the final state. Â© 2013 American Physical Society.
