Muon neutrino and anti-neutrino selection in the tracker of the T2K off-axis near detector

T2K (Tokai to Kamioka) is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment located in Japan. Since its discovery of electron neutrino appearance in 2013 excluding θ₁₃ = 0 with a significance of 7.3σ, T2K has switched its beam magnet polarities to run in anti-neutrino beam mode in order to enhance its sensitivity to measure anti-electron neutrino appearence. The beam is dominated by muon antineutrinos; however it also contains a sizable contamination from muon neutrinos. The analysis of both ν_μ and interactions in the off-axis near detector ND280, provides a significant reduction of the flux prediction and cross-section modelling systematic uncertainties in the oscillation analysis. ND280 data also gives us the opportunity to measure cross-sections for processes that have not yet been thoroughly studied for antineutrinos at the energy range of ∼1 GeV. The second largest reaction type at this energy range after the charged-current (CC) quasi-elastic reaction are processes involving pion production. The poster will present the selections of CC interactions of both antineutrinos and neutrinos in the ND280 tracker. It will also cover the separation into three sub-samples of the CC sample based on the pion content in each event.
