“…ÿ A, is a process in which the neutrino scatters coherently off the entire nucleus with a small energy transfer. Such a process has been measured in a number of experiments [1][2][3][4], providing a test of the partially conserved axial-vector current (PCAC) hypothesis [5]. The existing data agree with the Rein and Sehgal model [6] based on the PCAC hypothesis for neutrino energies from 7 to 100 GeV, while there exists no measurement at lower energies.…”

“…Coherent reactions are controlled by the nucleus form factor and are more forward peaked than incoherent ones. CC coherent pion production has been studied at higher energies in a number of experiments [3,4,5,6,7,8]. The results could be satisfactorily explained by the Rein-Sehgal model [9] which is based on the partially conserved axial current (PCAC) hypothesis [10].…”

Theoretical study of neutrino-induced coherent pion production off nuclei at T2K and MiniBooNE energies

We have developed a model for neutrino-induced coherent pion production off nuclei in the energy regime of interest for present and forthcoming neutrino oscillation experiments. It is based on a microscopic model for pion production off the nucleon that, besides the dominant ∆ pole contribution, takes into account the effect of background terms required by chiral symmetry. Moreover, the model uses a reduced nucleon-to-∆ resonance axial coupling, which leads to coherent pion production cross sections around a factor two smaller than most of the previous theoretical estimates. In the coherent production, the main nuclear effects, namely medium corrections on the ∆ propagator and the final pion distortion, are included. We have improved on previous similar models by taking into account the nucleon motion and employing a more sophisticated optical potential. As found in previous calculations the modification of the ∆ self-energy inside the nuclear medium strongly reduces the cross section, while the final pion distortion mainly shifts the peak position to lower pion energies. The angular distribution profiles are not much affected by nuclear effects. Nucleon motion increases the cross section by ∼ 15% at neutrino energies of 650 MeV, while Coulomb effects on charged pions are estimated to be small. Finally, we discuss at length the deficiencies of the Rein-Sehgal pion coherent production model for neutrino energies below 2 GeV, and in particular for the MiniBooNE and T2K experiments. We also predict flux averaged cross sections for these two latter experiments and K2K.

Measurements made before the discovery of neutrino oscillations were mostly made at E ν > 10 GeV.…”

Neutrino induced coherent charged pion production on nuclei,ν μ A → μ AE π ∓ A, is a rare inelastic interaction in which the four-momentum squared transferred to the nucleus is nearly zero, leaving it intact. We identify such events in the scintillator of MINERvA by reconstructing jtj from the final state pion and muon momenta and by removing events with evidence of energetic nuclear recoil or production of other final state particles. We measure the total neutrino and antineutrino cross sections as a function of neutrino energy between 2 and 20 GeV and measure flux integrated differential cross sections as a function of Q 2 , * Deceased.
