Neutral Current π0 Interactions at MiniBooNE

Neutral Current Π 0 Interactions at Miniboone

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 ...

Measurement 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...

NC π0 Production in the MiniBooNE Antineutrino Data

The single largest background to future ν̄μ → ν̄e (νμ → νe) oscillation searches is neutral current π0 production. MiniBooNE, which began taking antineutrino data in January 2006, has the world’s largest sample of reconstructed π0’s produced by antineutrinos in the 1 GeV energy range. These neutral pions are primarily produced through the ∆ resonance but can also be created through “coherent prod...

Charged 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...
