Quasi-Elastic Scattering in MINERvA
Abstract
Determination of the quasi-elastic scattering cross-section over a broad range of neutrino energies, nuclear targets and Q2 is a primary goal of the MINERvA experiment. We present preliminary comparisons of data and simulation in a sample rich in ν¯μp→μ+n events from approximately one eighth of the total ν¯ events collected by MINERvA to date. We discuss future plans for quasi-elastic analyses in MINERvA.
