Description
The muon neutrino beam of the T2K neutrino oscillation experiment contains a small contamination from anti-neutrinos. It is important to measure accurately this flux component since it: (a) forms a background to the oscillation measurements and; (b) gives the opportunity to study the poorly known anti-neutrino cross-section on carbon at neutrino energies of ~1GeV. This talk will outline a selection of inclusive muon anti-neutrino charged-current interactions in the ND280 (T2K's near detector situated 280m from the neutrino production target) and will present a preliminary analysis to extract the neutrino to anti-neutrino cross-section ratio.
