Measurement of the ν_μ charged current quasi-elastic cross-section on carbon with the T2K on-axis neutrino beam

We report a measurement of the ν_μ charged current quasi-elastic cross-sections on carbon in the T2K on-axis neutrino beam. The measured charged current quasi-elastic cross-sections on carbon at mean neutrino energies of 1.94 GeV and 0.93 GeV are (11.95±0.19(stat.)^+1.82_−1.47(syst.))×10⁻³⁹cm²/neutron and (10.64±0.37(stat.)^+2.03_−1.65(syst.))×10⁻³⁹cm²/neutron, respectively. These results agree well with the predictions of neutrino interaction models. In addition, we investigated the effects of the nuclear model and the multi-nucleon interaction.
