Abstract: The electron (anti-)neutrino component of the T2K neutrino beam constitutes the largest background in the measurement of electron (anti-)neutrino appearance at the far detector. The electron neutrino scattering is measured directly with the T2K off-axis near detector, ND280. The selection of the electron (anti-)neutrino events in the plastic scintillator target from both neutrino and anti-neutrino mode beams is discussed in this paper. The flux integrated single differential charged-current inclusive electron (anti-)neutrino cross-sections, dσ/dp and dσ/d cos( θ ), and the total cross-sections in a limited phase-space in momentum and scattering angle ( p 300 MeV/c and θ ≤ 45°) are measured using a binned maximum likelihood fit and compared to the neutrino Monte Carlo generator predictions, resulting in good agreement.

Abstract: Complex networks in reality may suffer from target attacks which can trigger the breakdown of the entire network. It is therefore pivotal to evaluate the extent to which a network could withstand perturbations. The research on network robustness has proven as a potent instrument towards that purpose. The last two decades have witnessed the enthusiasm on the studies of network robustness. However, existing studies on network robustness mainly focus on multilayer networks while little attention is paid to multipartite networks which are an indispensable part of complex networks. In this study, we investigate the robustness of multipartite networks under intentional node attacks. We develop two network models based on the largest connected component theory to depict the cascading failures on multipartite networks under target attacks. We then investigate the robustness of computer-generated multipartite networks with respect to eight node centrality metrics. We discover that the robustness of multipartite networks could display either discontinuous or continuous phase transitions. Interestingly, we discover that larger number of partite sets of a multipartite network could increase its robustness which is opposite to the phenomenon observed on multilayer networks. Our findings shed new lights on the robust structure design of complex systems. We finally present useful discussions on the applications of existing percolation theories that are well studied for network robustness analysis to multipartite networks. We show that existing percolation theories are not amenable to multipartite networks. Percolation on multipartite networks still deserves in-depth efforts.

Abstract: We report measurements of the flux-integrated ν̅μ and ν̅μ + νμ charged-current cross-sections on water and hydrocarbon targets using the T2K anti-neutrino beam with a mean beam energy of 0.86 GeV. The signal is defined as the (anti-)neutrino charged-current interaction with one induced $\\mu^\\pm$ and no detected charged pion or proton. These measurements are performed using a new WAGASCI module recently added to the T2K setup in combination with the INGRID Proton Module. The phase space of muons is restricted to the high-detection efficiency region, $p_{\\mu}& ~{\\rm MeV}/c$ and $\\theta_{\\mu}& ^{\\circ}$, in the laboratory frame. An absence of pions and protons in the detectable phase spaces of $p_{\\pi}& ~{\\rm MeV}/c$, $\\theta_{\\pi}& ^{\\circ}$ and $p_{\\rm p}& ~{\\rm MeV}/c$, $\\theta_{\\rm p}& ^{\\circ}$ is required. In this paper, both the $\\overline{\\nu}_\\mu$ cross-sections and $\\overline{\\nu}_\\mu+\\nu_\\mu$ cross-sections on water and hydrocarbon targets and their ratios are provided by using the D’Agostini unfolding method. The results of the integrated $\\overline{\\nu}_\\mu$ cross-section measurements over this phase space are $\\sigma_{\\rm H_{2}O}=(1.082\\pm0.068(\\rm stat.)^{+0.145}_{-0.128}(\\rm syst.)) \\times 10^{-39}\\,{\\rm cm^{2} / nucleon}$, $\\sigma_{\\rm CH}=(1.096\\pm0.054(\\rm stat.)^{+0.132}_{-0.117}(\\rm syst.)) \\times 10^{-39}\\,{\\rm cm^{2} / nucleon}$, and $\\sigma_{\\rm H_{2}O}/\\sigma_{\\rm CH} = 0.987\\pm0.078(\\rm stat.)^{+0.093}_{-0.090}(\\rm syst.)$. The $\\overline{\\nu}_\\mu+\\nu_\\mu$ cross-section is $\\sigma_{\\rm H_{2}O} = (1.155\\pm0.064(\\rm stat.)^{+0.148}_{-0.129}(\\rm syst.)) \\times 10^{-39}\\,{\\rm cm^{2} / nucleon}$, $\\sigma_{\\rm CH}=(1.159\\pm0.049(\\rm stat.)^{+0.129}_{-0.115}(\\rm syst.)) \\times 10^{-39}\\,{\\rm cm^{2} / nucleon}$, and $\\sigma_{\\rm H_{2}O}/\\sigma_{\\rm CH}=0.996\\pm0.069(\\rm stat.)^{+0.083}_{-0.078}(\\rm syst.)$.
