Abstract
Flux-averaged and flux-integrated cross sections for quasi-elastic neutrino charged-current scattering on nucleus are analyzed. It is shown that the flux-integrated differential cross sections are nuclear model-independent. We calculate these cross sections using the relativistic distorted-wave impulse approximation and relativistic Fermi gas model with the Booster Neutrino Beamline flux and compare results with the recent MiniBooNE experiment data. Within these models an axial mass MA is extracted from a fit of the measured dσ/dQ2 cross section. The extracted value of MA is consistent with the MiniBooNE result. The measured and calculated double differential cross sections dσ/dTdcosθ generally agree within the error of the experiment. But the Fermi gas model predictions are completely off of the data in the region of low muon energies and scattering angles.
