CC1π to CCQE cross sections ratio at accelerator energies

چکیده
MiniBooNE and K2K collaborations have recently reported the ratio for the νμ induced charge current 1π + production cross section to the charged current induced quasielastic lepton production cross section i.e. R(E) = σ CC1π+ σCCQE . In this paper we study, theoretically, in a local density approximation the effect of nuclear medium in charged current quasielastic(CCQE) and charged current one pion production(CC1π) processes for the νμ induced reaction in nuclei. The theoretical results have been compared with the results of experimental observations by the MiniBooNE and K2K collaborations. The ratio R(E) for νμ induced reaction in water for the proposed T2K experiment is also presented.

Neutrino induced pion production at MiniBooNE and K2K energies
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 CC1π+ cross sections. We further give predictions and compare to recent data measured at MiniBooNE.
متن کاملCharged Current Single Pion Cross Section Measurement at MiniBooNE
Charged current single pion (CC1π) production has been studied since the advent of high energy neutrino beams, but the cross section around 1 GeV energy is still not well understood. Also, many of the data that do exist come from hydrogen and deuterium targets, so there is still a significant need to study nuclear effects in this process. Figure 1 [3] shows a comparison of the CC1π measurements...

Up today estimations of proton-proton total cross sections, σ pp tot , at very high energies are obtained from cosmic rays (> 10 17 eV) by means of some approximations and the knowledge of the measured proton-air cross section at these energies. Besides, σ pp tot are measured with present day high energy colliders up to nearly 2 TeV in the center of mass (∼ 10 15 eV in the laboratory). Several ...

The MiniBooNE experiment has collected what is currently the world’s largest sample of νμ charged current single charged pion (CC1π+) interactions, roughly 46,000 events. The purity of the CC1π+ sample is 87% making this the purest event sample observed in the MiniBooNE detector [1]. The average energy of neutrinos producing CC1π+ interactions in MiniBooNE is about 1 GeV [2], therefore the stud...
متن کاملQuasielastic Scattering at MiniBooNE Energies
We present our description of neutrino induced charged current quasielastic scattering (CCQE) in nuclei at energies relevant for the MiniBooNE experiment. In our framework, the nucleons, with initial momentum distributions according to the Local Fermi Gas model, move in a densityand momentum-dependent mean field potential. The broadening of the outgoing nucleons due to nucleon-nucleon interacti...
