Neutrino Physics Research

Using high statistics samples of charged-current ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}$ interactions, the MiniBooNE Collaboration reports a measurement of the single-charged-pion production to quasielastic cross section ratio on mineral oil (${\mathrm{CH}}_{2}$), both with and without corrections for hadron reinteractions in the target nucleus. The result is provided as a function of neutrino energy in the range $0.4\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}<{E}_{\ensuremath{\nu}}<2.4\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$ with 11% precision in the region of highest statistics. The results are consistent with previous measurements and the prediction from historical neutrino calculations.
