Abstract

The coherent pion production induced by neutrinos in nuclei is studied using a delta hole model in the local density approximation taking into account the renormalization of {delta} properties in a nuclear medium. The pion absorption effects are included in an eikonal approximation. These effects give a large reduction in the total cross section. The numerical results for the total cross section are found to be consistent with recent experimental results from the K2K and MiniBooNE Collaborations and other older experiments in the intermediate energy region.

Theoretical study of neutrino-induced coherent pion production off nuclei at T2K and MiniBooNE energies

Journal Article Amaro, J E ; Hernandez, E ; Nieves, J ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We have developed a model for neutrino-induced coherent pion production off nuclei in the energy regime of interest for present and forthcoming neutrino oscillation experiments. It is based on a microscopic model for pion production off the nucleon that, besides the dominant {delta} pole contribution, takes into account the effect of background terms required by chiral symmetry. Moreover, the model uses a reduced nucleon-to-{delta} resonance axial coupling, which leads to coherent pion production cross sections around a factor of 2 smaller than most of the previous theoretical estimates. In the coherent production, the main nuclear effects, namely, medium corrections onmore »« less

Neutrino-induced pion production at energies relevant for the MiniBooNE and K2K experiments

Journal Article Leitner, T ; Buss, O ; Mosel, U ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We investigate charged and neutral current neutrino induced incoherent pion production off nuclei at MiniBooNE and K2K energies within the GiBUU model. We assume impulse approximation and treat the nucleus as a local Fermi gas of nucleons bound in a mean-field potential. In-medium spectral functions are also taken into account. The outcome of the initial neutrino nucleon reaction undergoes complex hadronic final state interactions. We present results for neutral current {pi}{sup 0} and charged current {pi}{sup +} production and compare to MiniBooNE and K2K data.

Neutrino induced charged current 1{pi}{sup +} production at intermediate energies

Journal Article Ahmad, Shakeb ; Athar, M Sajjad ; Singh, S K ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The charged current one pion production induced by {nu}{sub {mu}} from nucleons and nuclei like {sup 12}C and {sup 16}O nuclei has been studied. The calculations have been done for the incoherent and the coherent processes from nuclear targets assuming the {delta} dominance model and taking into account the effect of Pauli blocking, Fermi motion of the nucleon, and renormalization of {delta} properties in a nuclear medium. The effect of final state interactions of pions has been taken into account. The theoretical uncertainty in the total cross sections due to various parametrizations of the weak transition form factors used inmore »« less

Neutrino induced pion production at MiniBooNE and K2K energies

Journal Article Leitner, T ; Buss, O ; Mosel, U ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

We investigate charged and neutral current neutrino-induced incoherent pion production off nuclei within the GiBUU model at energies relevant for the MiniBooNE and K2K experiments. Special attention is paid to the entanglement between measured CCQE and CC1{pi}{sup +} cross sections. We further give predictions and compare to recent data measured at MiniBooNE.

Dynamical model of coherent pion production in neutrino-nucleus scattering

Journal Article Nakamura, S X ; Sato, T ; Lee, T.-S. H. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We study coherent pion production in neutrino-nucleus scattering in the energy region relevant to neutrino oscillation experiments of current interest. Our approach is based on the combined use of the Sato-Lee model of electroweak pion production on a nucleon and the {Delta}-hole model of pion-nucleus reactions. Thus we develop a model that describes pion-nucleus scattering and electroweak coherent pion production in a unified manner. Numerical calculations are carried out for the case of the {sup 12}C target. All the free parameters in our model are fixed by fitting to both total and elastic differential cross sections for pi-{sup 12}C scattering.more »« less
