Singlepion production cross sections at MiniBooNE

چکیده

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 measurements are important for a myriad of reasons: Neutral-current neutralpion production is an important background for electron-neutrino appearance searches, Chargedcurrent charged-pion production is the single largest background for quasi-elastic scattering and also provides the purest sample of events at these energies, and charge-current neutral-pion production provides a pure measure of incoherent pion production. Each of these processes required custom event reconstructions due to the particulars of the final-state particles. In addition, the sample selections and analyses will be discussed in detail. Many single-pion cross-section measurements, and their possible implications will be 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.

Inclusive 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...

CC1π to CCQE cross sections ratio at accelerator energies

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 ...

Prospects for Antineutrino Running at MiniBooNE

The search for CP violation in the neutrino sector requires both νμ → νe and ν̄μ → ν̄e oscillations measuremetns by future off-axis experiments. The signature for CP violation is an asymmetry in these oscillation probabilities, but this can only be confirmed if the precision of the ν and ν̄ cross sections are smaller than the observed asymmetry. There are few ν cross section data published [1] to ...

Neutrino oscillations have been established in solar and atmospheric neutrinos, but a third signal from the LSND experiment is incompatible with three Standard Model neutrinos. The MiniBooNE experiment can confirm or refute the LSND oscillation signal with 1 × 10 21 protons on target. While working towards the oscillation result, MiniBooNE will accumulate more than 1 × 10 6 neutrino interaction...
