Abstract

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.

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.

Pion production in neutrino interactions with nuclei

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

Neutrino-induced pion production on nuclear targets is the major inelastic channel in all present-day neutrino-oscillation experiments. It has to be understood quantitatively in order to be able to reconstruct the neutrino-energy at experiments such as MiniBooNE or K2K and T2K. We report here results of cross section calculations for both this channel and for quasielastic scattering within the semiclassical GiBUU method. This method contains scattering, both elastic and inelastic, absorption and side-feeding of channels all in a unitary, common theoretical framework and code. We find that charged current quasielastic scattering (CCQE) and 1 pi production are closely entangled in actualmore »« less

Nuclear Effects in Neutrino Induced Coherent Pion Production at K2K and MiniBooNE

Journal Article Singh, S K ; Athar, M Sajjad ; Ahmad, Shakeb - Physical Review Letters

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

Unified approach for nucleon knock-out and coherent and incoherent pion production in neutrino interactions with nuclei

Journal Article Martini, M ; Universita di Bari, I-70126 Bari ; Theory Group, Physics Department, CERN, CH-1211 Geneva ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We present a theory of neutrino interactions with nuclei aimed at the description of the partial cross sections, namely quasielastic and multinucleon emission, coherent and incoherent single-pion production. For this purpose, we use the theory of nuclear responses treated in the random-phase approximation, which allows a unified description of these channels. It is particularly suited for the coherent pion production where collective effects are important, whereas they are moderate in the other channels. We also study the evolution of the neutrino cross sections with the mass number from carbon to calcium. We compare our approach to the available neutrino experimentalmore »« less
