Antineutrino-Induced Charge Current Quasi-Elastic Neutral Hyperon Cross-Section On Argon In Argoneut, Samuel M. Borer
Honors College
This thesis outlines the first measurement of CCQE neutral hyperon production cross section in a liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) through a topological study [1] and presents the ongoing progress of the addition of a calorimetric study. The analysis uses 1.20 £ 1020 protons-on-target, in the NuMI beam operating in the low energy antineutrino mode. The results of the topological study provide a total cross section measurement at the mean production energy of 3.42 GeV for CCQE neutral hyperons. The result of the topological study is consistent with the NUANCE cross section model and sets a 90% confidence level …
