SUMMARY:Measurement of muon neutrino charged current quasielastic (CCQ
 E) scattering on carbon in MiniBooNE\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Co
 smo) Forum\, Teppei Katori\, Indiana University
DESCRIPTION:The observation of neutrino oscillations is clear evidence
  for physics beyond the standard model. To make precise measurements o
 f this phenomenon\, neutrino oscillation experiments\, including MiniB
 ooNE\, require an accurate description of neutrino charged current qua
 sielastic (CCQE) cross sections to predict signal samples. Using a hig
 h-statistics sample of muon neutrino CCQE events\, MiniBooNE finds tha
 t a simple Fermi gas model\, with appropriate adjustments\, accurately
  characterizes the CCQE events observed in a carbon-based detector. Th
 e extracted parameters include an effective axial mass\, MA=1.23 +- 0.
 20GeV\, that describes the four-momentum dependence of the axial-vecto
 r form factor of the nucleon\, and a Pauli-suppression parameter\, kap
 pa=1.019 +- 0.011. Such a modified Fermi gas model may also be used by
  future accelerator-based experiments measuring neutrino oscillations 
 on nuclear target.
