Dynamical Model of Coherent Electroweak Pion Production Reactions on Nuclei
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a dynamical model for a unified description of the pion-nucleus scattering and photoand neutrino-induced coherent pion production on nuclei. Our approach is based on a combined use of the Sato-Lee model for the electroweak pion production on a single nucleon and the ∆-hole model of pion-nucleus scattering. Numerical calculations are carried out for the case of the 12C target. After testing our model with the use of the pion photo-production data, we confront our predictions of the neutrino-induced coherent pion production reactions with the recent data from K2K and MiniBooNE.

A relativistic model for neutrino pion production from nuclei in the resonance region
We present a relativistic model for electroweak pion production from nuclei, focusing on the ∆ and the second resonance region. Bound states are derived in the Hartree approximation to the σ − ω Walecka model. Final-state interactions of the outgoing pion and nucleon are described in a factorized way by means of a relativistic extension of the Glauber model. Our formalism allows a detailed stud...
متن کاملCoherent Pion Production in Neutrino Nucleus Collision in the 1 Gev Region
We calculate cross sections for coherent pion production in nuclei induced by neutrinos and antineutrinos of the electron and muon type. The analogies and differences between this process and the related ones of coherent pion production induced by photons, or the (p, n) and (3He, t) reactions are discussed. The process is one of the several ones occurring for intermediate energy neutrinos, to b...
متن کاملCoherent Pion Production by Neutrinos
I concentrate in this article on the reaction coherent pion production by neutrinos incident on nuclei. A special effort is made in order to describe the approximations entering the calculation. I conclude that the reaction is well understood and with appropriate data for hadronic reactions it can be computed for low and high neutrino energies. Because of shortage of space I omitted the resonan...
متن کاملNeutrino induced weak pion production off the nucleon and coherent pion production in nuclei at low energies
We present a microscopic model for neutrino induced one-pion production off the nucleon and its implementation for the purpose of calculating coherent pion production in nuclei. We further criticize the use of the Rein–Sehgal model for coherent pion production by low energy neutrinos. In particular, we show how the approximations in that model give rise to a much flatter differential cross sect...

All available theoretical estimates of neutrino-induced coherent pion production rely on the ’local approximation’ for the Delta propagator. The validity of this approximation is scrutinized. It is found that the local approximation overestimates the neutrino-induced coherent pion production on nuclei significantly, by up to 100%.
