Neutrino detection in the ArgoNeuT LAr TPC

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2011-10-17 v1

Abstract

ArgoNeuT, a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr-TPC), has collected thousands of neutrino and anti-neutrino events between 0.1 and 10 GeV in the NuMI beamline at Fermilab (FNAL). Among other issues, the experiment will measure the cross section of the neutrino and anti-neutrino Charged Current Quasi-Elastic (CC QE) interaction on Ar target and analyze the vertex activity associated with such events. ArgoNeuT data analysis and FSI studies in progress are described and first measurements of inclusive muon neutrino Charged Current differential cross sections on Argon are reported.
