Presenter: Dr. Nathan Mayer
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.
