abstract

We report the first measurement of monoenergetic muon neutrino charged current interactions. MiniBooNE has isolated 236 MeV muon neutrino events originating from charged kaon decay at rest ($K^+ \rightarrow \mu^+ \nu_\mu$) at the NuMI beamline absorber. These signal $\nu_\mu$-carbon events are distinguished from primarily pion decay in flight $\nu_\mu$ and $\overline{\nu}_\mu$ backgrounds produced at the target station and decay pipe using their arrival time and reconstructed muon energy. The significance of the signal observation is at the 3.9$\sigma$ level. The muon kinetic energy, neutrino-nucleus energy transfer ($\omega=E_\nu-E_\mu$), and total cross section for these events is extracted. This result is the first known-energy, weak-interaction-only probe of the nucleus to yield a measurement of $\omega$ using neutrinos, a quantity thus far only accessible through electron scattering.

    MicroBooNE sets the strongest limits to date on the Higgs-portal scalar mixing angle θ below ~3×10^{-4} for masses 110-155 MeV using kaon decays in the NuMI beam and 2.01×10^{21} POT exposure.

    For 235.5 MeV KDAR muon-neutrino charged-current scattering on carbon, NuWro reproduces JSNS² missing-energy data better than GENIE or GiBUU, but all generators miss part of the data.
