Dissertation
First measurement of the muon anti-neutrino charged current quasielastic double-differential cross section
2013
Overview
This dissertation presents the first measurement of the muon antineutrino charged current quasi-elastic double-differential cross section. These data significantly extend the knowledge of neutrino and antineutrino interactions in the GeV range, a region that has recently come under scrutiny due to a number of conflicting experimental results. To maximize the precision of this measurement, three novel techniques were employed to measure the neutrino background component of the data set. Representing the first measurements of the neutrino contribution to an accelerator-based antineutrino beam in the absence of a magnetic field, the successful execution of these techniques carry implications for current and future neutrino experiments. Finally, combined measurements of these antineutrino and the previously-published neutrino cross section data using the same apparatus maximize the extracted information from these results by exploiting correlated systematic uncertainties. The results of this analysis will help to understand signal and background processes in present and future long-baseline neutrino experiments, the principle goal of which is to measure the ordering of the neutrino masses and a process that may ultimately explain the origin of our matter-dominated universe.
