TL;DR
This paper reviews recent experimental measurements of neutrino-nucleus quasi-elastic scattering across different energies and targets, highlighting discrepancies with existing models at certain energies and targets.
Contribution
It compiles and compares recent experimental data on CC QE scattering, emphasizing inconsistencies with current interaction models at specific energy ranges and materials.
Findings
MiniBooNE and SciBooNE measurements on carbon at ~1 GeV disagree with models.
MINOS measurements on iron at 3 GeV also disagree with models.
NOMAD measurements on carbon at higher energies agree with models.
Abstract
We present recent measurements of neutrino charged current quasi-elastic (CC QE) scattering, nu_mu + p -> mu- + n. Measurements of CC QE on carbon near 1 GeV by MiniBooNE and SciBooNE, as well as measurements on iron at 3 GeV by MINOS, disagree with current interaction models, while measurements at higher energies on carbon by NOMAD show excellent agreement with those same models.
