First Measurement of Muon Neutrino Charged Current Single Neutral Pion Production on Argon with the MicroBooNE LArTPC

UNSPECIFIED (2018) First Measurement of Muon Neutrino Charged Current Single Neutral Pion Production on Argon with the MicroBooNE LArTPC. Other. UNSPECIFIED.

Abstract

We report the first measurement of the absolute flux-integrated cross section of νµ charged current single π 0 6 production on argon. This measurement was performed with the MicroBooNE 7 detector, a liquid argon time projection chamber, utilizing neutrinos produced by the Fermilab 8 Booster Neutrino Beam. The analysis uses the first fully automated electromagnetic shower 9 reconstruction employed to analyze data from a liquid argon time projection chamber.
