Precise measurement of neutrino and anti-neutrino differential cross sections
2006
The NuTeV experiment at
Fermilabhas obtained a unique high statistics sample of
neutrinoand anti-
neutrinointeractions using its high-energy sign-selected beam. We present a measurement of the differential cross section for
charged-current
neutrinoand anti-
neutrinoscattering from iron. Structure functions, F{sub 2}(x,Q{sup 2}) and xF{sub 3}(x,Q{sup 2}), are determined by fitting the inelasticity, y, dependence of the cross sections. This measurement has significantly improved systematic precision as a consequence of more precise understanding of hadron and muon energy scales.
