"Measurement of the Axial Mass Parameter Using Multiple
Quasi-Elastic Dominated Subsamples in the MINOS Near Detector"
Dr. Nathan Mayer
Tufts University, High Energy Physics Group
Abstract: The Q^2 dependence in neutrino charged current quasi-elastic
scattering (CCQE) probes the vector and axial-vector structure of the
nucleon/nuclear target. An analysis is presented that improves upon a
previous MINOS study. The analysis uses an additional CCQE dominated
sub-sample from a different kinematic region to reduce correlations
between fit parameters. A new value for the axial-vector mass for
neutrino scattering in iron is reported
