Measurement of Neutrino-Nucleon Neutral Current Elastic Scattering in MiniBooNE

Using a high-statistics sample of neutral current elastic neutrino interactions, MiniBooNE measured the flux-averaged neutral current elastic differential cross-section on mineral oil (CH{sub 2}). Using the latter, a {kappa}{sup 2} test of MC with different values of the axial vector mass has been p...

Zusammenfassung:	Using a high-statistics sample of neutral current elastic neutrino interactions, MiniBooNE measured the flux-averaged neutral current elastic differential cross-section on mineral oil (CH{sub 2}). Using the latter, a {kappa}{sup 2} test of MC with different values of the axial vector mass has been performed. Also, a possibility of using a sample of neutral current elastic proton-enriched events above Cherenkov threshold to measure the ratio vp{yields}vp/vN{yields}vN is discussed. This ratio is sensitive to the strange quark contribution to the nucleon spin, {delta}s.
