Abstract

Using a high-statistics, high-purity sample of νμ-induced [upsilon subscript mu -induced] charged current, charged pion events in mineral oil (CH2)[CH subscript 2], MiniBooNE reports a collection of interaction cross sections for this process. This includes measurements of the CCπ+ [CC pi superscript +] cross section as a function of neutrino energy, as well as flux-averaged single- and double-differential cross sections of the energy and direction of both the final-state muon and pion. In addition, each of the single-differential cross sections are extracted as a function of neutrino energy to decouple the shape of the MiniBooNE energy spectrum from the results. In many cases, these cross sections are the first time such quantities have been measured on a nuclear target and in the 1 GeV energy range.
