Search for neutrino charged current coherent pion production at SciBooNE
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. SciBooNE is a neutrino experiment measuring neutrino cross sections on carbon in the one GeV region. We have performed a search for charged current coherent pion production from muon neutrinos scattering on carbon, νμ 12C → μ−12Cπ+. No evidence for coherent pion production is observed. We set 90% confidence level upper limits on the cross section ratio of charged current coherent pion production to the total charged current cross section at 0.67×10−2 at a mean neutrino energy of 1.1 GeV and 1.36× 10−2 at a mean neutrino energy of 2.2 GeV. The kinematic distributions of the final data sample are also presented.

Measurement of Charged Current Charged Single Pion Production in SciBooNE
Neutrino-induced charged current single charged pion production (CC-1π) is dominated by baryonic resonance excitation off a single nucleon bound in a nucleus in the neutrino energy region of a few GeV. The resonance state is followed by its prompt decay into a nucleon and a pion in the final state. The process is written as νμN → μ Nπ, where N is proton or neutron. In addition to this reaction,...

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...
متن کاملInclusive and pion production neutrino-nucleus cross sections
We analyze the experimental data on the inclusive double-differential cross section by neutrinos charged current, measured by T2K, with the same model which was successful for the MiniBooNE quasielastic cross sections. As in our previous analysis the multinucleon component is needed in order to reproduce the data. For the total cross section, our evaluation is smaller than the SciBooNE data abo...
متن کاملFour Momentum Transfer Discrepancy in the Charged Current π+ Production in the MiniBooNE: Data vs. Theory
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 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...
