Analysis of flux-integrated cross sections for quasi-elastic neutrino charged-current scattering off C at MiniBooNE energies
Flux-averaged and flux-integrated cross sections for quasi-elastic neutrino
charged-current scattering on nucleus are analyzed. It is shown that the
flux-integrated differential cross sections are nuclear model-independent. We
calculate these cross sections using the relativistic distorted-wave impulse
approximation and relativistic Fermi gas model with the Booster Neutrino
Beamline flux and compare results with the recent MiniBooNE experiment data.
Within these models an axial mass is extracted from a fit of the measured
cross section. The extracted value of is consistent with
the MiniBooNE result. The measured and calculated double differential cross
sections generally agree within the error of the
experiment. But the Fermi gas model predictions are completely off of the data
in the region of low muon energies and scattering angles.Comment: 23 pages, 8 figure
