This dissertation also presents total antineutrino-scintillator quasi-elastic cross sections as a function of energy, which is then compared to measurements from previous experiments.  Next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments, such as DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande, hope to measure CP violation in the lepton sector. In order to do this, they must dramatically reduce their current levels of uncertainty, particularly those due to neutrino-nucleus interaction models. As CP violation is a measure of the difference between the oscillation properties of neutrinos and antineutrinos, data about how the less-studied antineutrinos interact is especially valuable. The measurement described herewith determines the nuclear and instrumental effects that must be understood to undertake precision neutrino physics. As well as being useful to help reduce oscillation experiments' uncertainty, this data can also be used to study the prevalence of various correlation and final-state interaction effects within the nucleus. In addition to being a substantial scientific advance, this thesis also serves as an outstanding introduction to the field of experimental neutrino physics for future students. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aAtomic structure 606 $aMolecular structure 606 $aParticles (Nuclear physics) 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aHeavy ions 606 $aParticle acceleration 606 $aAtomic/Molecular Structure and Spectra$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24017 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029 606 $aNuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadrons$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23010 606 $aParticle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23037 615 0$aAtomic structure. 615 0$aMolecular structure. 615 0$aParticles (Nuclear physics) 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 0$aHeavy ions. 615 0$aParticle acceleration. 615 14$aAtomic/Molecular Structure and Spectra. 615 24$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aNuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadrons. 615 24$aParticle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics. 676 $a539.75 700 $aPatrick$b Cheryl E$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058921 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300556203321 996 $aMeasurement of the Antineutrino Double-Differential Charged-Current Quasi-Elastic Scattering Cross Section at MINERvA$92503195 997 $aUNINA
