Description

We present a measurement of the muon neutrino charged-current (CC) cross section using atmospheric neutrinos observed in Super-Kamiokande (SK). This analysis focuses on upward-going muons produced by muon neutrinos interacting in the rock beneath the detector, providing a clean sample with minimal cosmic muon contamination. The primary energy range extends to 5 TeV, covering a blind spot between accelerator-based measurements and neutrino telescopes. The measured muon neutrino CC cross section is consistent with theoretical predictions and previous results, offering important constraints on neutrino interaction models and reducing uncertainties for future high-energy neutrino studies.
