$\nu_\mu$-Low recoil analysis in medium energy era of MINER$\nu$A Experiment
ORAL
Abstract
The charged-current process($\nu_\mu $A$\rightarrow \mu$X) is analyzed using the MINER$\nu$A detector in the medium energy(ME) NuMI beam. $\nu_\mu$ inclusive interactions in the hydrocarbon scintillator tracker are used to study the nuclear effects at low three-momentum transfer, q3, focusing mainly on Meson Exchange Current(MEC) and resonant(RES) interactions. For the RES events we studied the effects of Pauli Blocking, Removal Energy, effects of quasi-elastic(QE) Random Phase Approximation on RES, single pion production models such as the Kabirnezhad Model and others. The MEC part is studied using the SuSA model for MEC and QE with the Bodek-Ritchie tail correction. We compare the MINER$\nu$A reconstructed distribution with the GENIE simulation with the goal of measuring the flux integrated differential 2D cross section in an extended $q_3$ range with the ME beam.
