Abstract

Using a custom 3 \vCerenkov-ring fitter, we report cross sections for νμ\nu_\mu-induced charged-current single π0\pi^0 production on mineral oil (\chtwo) from a sample of 5810 candidate events with 57% signal purity over an energy range of 0.5−2.00.5-2.0GeV. This includes measurements of the absolute total cross section as a function of neutrino energy, and flux-averaged differential cross sections measured in terms of Q2Q^2, μ−\mu^- kinematics, and π0\pi^0 kinematics. The sample yields a flux-averaged total cross section of (9.2±0.3stat.±1.5syst.)×10−39(9.2\pm0.3_{stat.}\pm1.5_{syst.})\times10^{-39}cm2^2/CH2_2 at mean neutrino energy of 0.965GeV.
