001328179 520__ $$aThe OPERA experiment is based on a hybrid technology combining electronic detectors and nuclear emulsions. OPERA collected muon-neutrino interactions during the 2008 and 2009 physics runs of the CNGS neutrino beam, produced at CERN with an energy range of about 5-35 GeV. A total of $5.3 \times 10^{19}$ protons on target equivalent luminosity has been analysed with the OPERA electronic detectors: scintillator strips target trackers and magnetic muon spectrometers equipped with resistive plate gas chambers and drift tubes, allowing a detailed reconstruction of muon-neutrino interactions. Charged Current (CC) and Neutral Current (NC) interactions are identified, using the measurements in the electronic detectors, and the NC/CC ratio is computed. The momentum distribution and the charge of the muon tracks produced in CC interactions are analysed. Calorimetric measurements of the visible energy are performed for both the CC and NC samples. For CC events the Bjorken-$y$ distribution and the hadronic shower profile are computed. The results are compared to a detailed Monte Carlo simulation of the electronic detectors' response.

Data are shown by dots, errors are statistical only. The MC prediction, normalised to the number of p.o.t. corresponding to the 2008-2009 data sample, is shown by the coloured area. The dominant source of the spread of the MC prediction is due to the 10 \% uncertainty on the expected number of $\nu_{\mu}$ CC events. For illustration purposes only, the lower dashed curve represents the contribution obtained from the $\nu_{\mu}$ to $\nu_{\tau}$ MC events with subsequent decay into $\mu$ of the final state $\tau$ lepton. The normalisation of this contribution is arbitrary.

The VETO detector and a magnet with its inserted RPC planes are indicated by arrows, as well as some PT and XPC planes. The Brick Manipulator System (BMS) is also visible.
