Neutrino-Induced Charged Current Inclusive Pion Cross-section Measurement in the NOvA Near Detector

ORAL

Abstract

The NuMI Off-Axis Electron Neutrino Appearance (NOvA) experiment is a long-baseline neutrino experiment designed to detect neutrino oscillations and measure their properties.~ The intense NuMI neutrino beam, generated at Fermilab, incident on the NOvA near detector provides the opportunity to study neutrino interactions at an unprecedented level. ~In this presentation, I will discuss an analysis underway to measure the rate of muon neutrino charged current interactions resulting in the production of a charged pion.
