Charged current pion-less interactions with final state protons at MicroBooNE

ORAL

Abstract

MicroBooNE is an 85t active volume liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab. The BNB is a wide band beam, with an energy spectrum distributed primarily between 200 MeV and 1.5 GeV. Due to the high granularity calorimetry available in a LArTPC, the low energy protons produced in neutrino interactions can be measured with high statistics down to lower thresholds. The higher A of the target makes kinematic reconstruction more complicated and more model dependent. Therefore, nuclear effects can be significant in argon experiment. This talk will present a measurement of the CC0piNp channel, that is interactions which do not produce a final state pion but do produce one or more final state protons above a momentum threshold of 300 MeV/c. We use a MicroBooNE data sample corresponding to an exposure of 1.6 x 10^20 protons-on-target (POT), to measure single differential cross sections in five variables, each sensitive to different effects. These variables are compared to predictions from multiple state-of-the art neutrino interaction generators.
