## Abstract content

The current status of probing nuclear effects in CC muon neutrino interactions with at least one proton (N$>$0) and one $\pi^0$ (M$>$0) in the final state is presented. This work considers the differential cross section on hydrocarbon as a function of double transverse momentum -- a kinematic imbalance of the final state hadronic system transverse to the neutrino direction and muon momentum plane. By considering events in MINER$\nu$A's active tracker, a plastic scintillator, semi-exclusive final states are selected to gain an insight into nuclear effects. Such a measurement will not only provide crucial information to current and future multi-GeV neutrino oscillation experiments like NO$\nu$A and DUNE but may also enable reliable measurements of neutrino interactions on hydrogen to be realised.
