Neutrino-induced coherent pion production
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have investigated the neutrino induced coherent pion production reaction at the energies of interest for recent experiments like K2K and MiniBooNE. The model includes pion, nucleon and the ∆(1232) resonance. Medium effects in the production mechanism and the distortion of the pion wave function are taken into account. We find a strong reduction of the cross section due to these effects and also substantial modifications in the energy distributions of the final pion. The sensitivity of the results on the axial N-∆ coupling CA 5 (0) and the coherent fraction in neutral-current π0 production are discussed.

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%.
متن کاملDynamical Model of Coherent Electroweak Pion Production Reactions on Nuclei
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. ...
متن کاملCoherent pion production in neutrino-nucleus collisions
We have investigated the neutrino induced coherent pion production reaction at low and intermediate energies including pion, nucleon and ∆(1232) resonance. Medium effects in the production mechanism and the distortion of the pion wave function are included in the calculation. We find a strong reduction of the cross section due to these effects and also substantial modifications in the energy di...
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...
متن کاملMeasurement 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,...
