Neutral Current Π 0 Interactions at Miniboone
نویسنده
چکیده
MiniBooNE, the Mini Booster Neutrino Experiment at Fermilab, will search for the appearance of electron neutrinos in a beam of muon neutrinos, and in the process will accumulate more neutrino interactions in the 0 − 2 GeV energy range than all past experiments. This work presents preliminary results from the neutral current π 0 analysis at MiniBooNE, with comparisons of the NUANCE, NEUGEN, and NEUT neutrino cross section Monte Carlos. Also presented are comparisons of these three Monte Carlo simulations with MiniBooNE data taken during the running

First Observation of Coherent π 0 Production in Neutrino Nucleus Interactions with E ν < 2 GeV
The MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab has amassed the largest sample to date of πs produced in neutral current (NC) neutrino-nucleus interactions at low energy. This paper reports a measurement of the momentum distribution of πs produced in mineral oil (CH2) and the first observation of coherent π 0 production below 2 GeV. In the forward direction, the yield of events observed above the expectat...
متن کاملMiniboone Status
MiniBooNE, the Mini Booster Neutrino Experiment at Fermilab, will confirm or refute the existence of the neutrino oscillation signal seen by the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) Experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The experiment will search for the appearance of electron neutrinos in a beam of muon neutrinos. This work presents preliminary results from the first round of a...
متن کاملNC COHERENT π PRODUCTION IN THE MiniBooNE ANTINEUTRINO DATA
The single largest background to future ν̄μ → ν̄e (νμ → νe) oscillation searches is neutral current (NC) π production. MiniBooNE, which began taking antineutrino data in January 2006, has the world’s largest sample of reconstructed π’s produced by antineutrinos. These neutral pions are primarily produced through the ∆ resonance but can also be created through “coherent production.” The latter pro...
متن کاملMeasurement of Neutrino-Nucleon Neutral Current Elastic Scattering in MiniBooNE
Using a high-statistics sample of neutral current elastic neutrino interactions, MiniBooNE measured the fluxaveraged neutral current elastic differential cross-section on mineral oil (CH2). Using the latter, a χ2 test of MC with different values of the axial vector mass has been performed. Also, a possibility of using a sample of neutral current elastic protonenriched events above Cherenkov thr...

The neutral current elastic scattering of neutrinos on Carbon and CH2 targets is computed using the relativistic distorted-wave impulse approximation with relativistic optical potential. Results for exclusive and inclusive neutrino reactions on 12C target are presented. We show that the nuclear effects on the shape of four-momentum transferred squared distribution dσ/dQQE in neutrino neutral-cu...
