eA Pion Production at CLAS Aimed at Neutrinos
Preliminary results on semi-inclusive charged pion production in eA collisions at E{sub beam} = 5 GeV/c{sup 2} are presented. The data were collected using the CLAS detector, which is a multipurpose, large acceptance, magnetic spectrometer located in Hall B at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. Distributions in W, Q{sup 2}, p{sub {pi}}, and {theta}{sub {pi}} are shown for data produced using deuterium and carbon targets. Preliminary comparisons with data simulated using the GENIE generator are made. The motivation for this work is to provide distributions useful for tuning the hadronic production models used in extracting results from current and next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments.
