Abstract
The ArgoNeuT collaboration reports the first measurement of neutral current production in -argon and -argon scattering. This measurement was performed using the ArgoNeuT liquid argon time projection chamber deployed at Fermilab's NuMI neutrino beam with an exposure corresponding to 1.2 protons-on-target from the Fermilab Main Injector and a mean energy for of 9.6~GeV and for of 3.6~GeV. We compare the measured cross section and kinematic distributions to predictions from the GENIE and NuWro neutrino interaction event generators.
