Abstract

The first measurements of antineutrino charged-current quasielastic (\numub\numub CCQE, \numu+N\mup+N\numu + N \to \mup + N') and neutral-current elastic (\numub\numub NCE, \numu+N\numu+N\numu + N \to \numu + N) cross sections with <Eνˉ>< E_{\bar{\nu}} > << 1 GeV are presented. To maximize the precision of these measurements, many data-driven background measurements were executed, including a first demonstration of charge separation using a non-magnetized detector. Apart from extending our knowledge of antineutrino interactions by probing a new energy range, these measurements constrain signal and background processes for current and future neutrino oscillation experiments and also carry implications for intra-nuclear interactions.
