Resumen

We present measurements of the cross section for antineutrino charged-current quasielasticlike scattering on hydrocarbon using the medium energy NuMI wide-band neutrino beam peaking at antineutrino energy ⟨Eν¯ ©∼6 GeV. The measurements are presented as a function of the longitudinal momentum (p||) and transverse momentum (pT) of the final state muon. This work complements our previously reported high statistics measurement in the neutrino channel and extends the previous antineutrino measurement made in a low energy beam at ⟨Eν¯
