First Measurement of Electron Neutrino Scattering Cross Section on Argon

ArgoNeuT Collaboration, R. Acciarri, C. Adams +21

We report the first electron neutrino cross section measurements on argon, based on data collected by the ArgoNeuT experiment running in the GeV-scale NuMI beamline at Fermilab. A…
