Abstract
Production of ${K}^{+}$ mesons in charged-current ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}$ interactions on plastic scintillator (CH) is measured using MINERvA exposed to the low-energy NuMI beam at Fermilab. Timing information is used to isolate a sample of 885 charged-current events containing a stopping ${K}^{+}$ which decays at rest. The differential cross section in ${K}^{+}$ kinetic energy, $d\ensuremath{\sigma}/d{T}_{K}$, is observed to be relatively flat between 0 and 500 MeV. Its shape is in good agreement with the prediction by the genie neutrino event generator when final-state interactions are included, however the data rate is lower than the prediction by 15%.
