Experimental studies of neutral current pion production at low energy
نویسنده
چکیده
The unknown neutrino mixing angle θ13 is one of the most important goals in current neutrino experiments. For the next generation of long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments, T2K and NOvA, the precise measurement of neutrino-nucleus cross sections in the few GeV energy range is an essential ingredient in the interpretation of neutrino oscillation signals. Neutral current neutral-pion production is a major background for νe appearance search. This documents discusses briefly the current status and recent progress with high statistics and

Low Energy Neutrino Cross Sections: Comparison of Various Monte Carlo Predictions to Experimental Data
Charged current (CC) and neutral current (NC) low energy neutrino cross section predictions from a variety of Monte Carlo generators in present use are compared against existing experimental data. Comparisons are made to experimental data on quasi-elastic, resonant and coherent single pion production, multiple pion production, single kaon production, and total inclusive cross sections, and are ...

The SciBooNE Collaboration has measured neutral current neutral pion production by the muon neutrino beam at a polystyrene target (C8H8). We obtained (7.7± 0.5(stat.) +0.4 −0.5(sys.))× 10 −2 as cross section ratio of the neutral current neutral pion production to total charged current cross section at the mean neutrino energy of 1.16 GeV. This result is consistent with the Monte Carlo predictio...

Renewable energy resources need to be explored to maintain and meet energy demand and replace the slowly depleting fossil fuels. Malaysia, surrounded by sea with long coastlines, is poised to exploit the potential of this energy. This research work aims at designing a suitable device to extract energy from Malaysian sea current. Malaysia’s ocean has a low current velocity averaging 0.56 m/s, ...
متن کاملSinglepion production cross sections at MiniBooNE
The MiniBooNE experiment has prepared an almost pure beam of muon-neutrinos over an energy range of a few-hundred MeV to a few GeV with a sample of roughly one-million neutrino interactions. Detailed cross-section measurements have been performed spanning 89% of the total neutrino-interaction rate. Specifically, three single-pion production mechanisms have been measured in detail. These measure...
متن کاملTheoretical update on low energy neutrino – nucleus reactions
We review Quasielastic (QE) inclusive and semi–inclusive neutrino/antineutrino Charged Current (CC) and Neutral Current (NC) induced nuclear reactions at intermediate energies. We pay special attention to nuclear corrections besides Pauli blocking: Long and Short range nuclear correlations (RPA and SRC) and particle and hole Spectral Functions (SF). We also critically review the use of the Plan...
