Results for CCQE scattering with the MINOS near detector

The MINOS experiment has the world's largest data set of neutrino interactions in the 1-10 GeV range. In addition, this data set is for neutrino interactions on iron, allowing us to explore the nuclear effects on neutrino scattering. We present preliminary results from a low hadronic energy, quasielastic enhanced sample of neutrino-iron interactions observed by the MINOS Near Detector in the NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab. From a shape fit to the Q2 distribution for these events, we extract a value for the effective axial-vector mass MA which best describes that distribution. We discuss the very low Q2 behavior of this sample and the most important systematic effects for this measurement. Then we explore how we can increase our sensitivity to MA by adding exclusive final state selections to the Q2 shape fit.
