This thesis represents the first double differential measurement of
quasi-elastic anti-neutrino scattering in the few GeV range--a
region of substantial theoretical and experimental interest as it
is the kinematic region where studies of charge-parity (CP)
violation in the neutrino sector most require precise understanding
of the differences between anti-neutrino and neutrino scatter. 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.
