“…A similar procedure was often applied in previous neutrino experiments, as for example, CERN BEBC [18]. Moreover, the use of another process recorded in the same experimental runs allows one to reduce significantly the systematic uncertainty related to the detector material composition.…”

“…The number of selected events in raw data N dat , the estimated background contamination N bg and the number of events N cor corrected for background and efficiency are also reported. The difference in the total number of data events with respect to Table 4 (13683 versus 14021) is due to the additional cut on the neutrino energy 3 < E ν (GeV) < 100 Table 8 The same as Table 7 but for the antineutrino [18]; corrections for nuclear effects have been made by the authors of the experiments). NOMAD measurements were divided by a factor g = σ Nucl /σ Free which was calculated according to the SmithMoniz model (see [32]).…”

“…The available measurements from early experiments at ANL [1][2][3][4], BNL [5][6][7][8], FNAL [9,10], CERN [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] and IHEP [19][20][21][22] have considerable errors due to low statistics and a lack of knowledge of the precise incoming neutrino flux. Unfortunately, even within these large errors, the results are often conflicting.…”

We have studied the muon neutrino and antineutrino quasi-elastic (QEL) scattering reactions (ν μ n → μ − p andν μ p → μ + n) using a set of experimental data collected by the NOMAD Collaboration. We have performed measurements of the cross-section of these processes on a nuclear target (mainly carbon) normalizing it to the total ν μ (ν μ ) charged-current cross section. The results for the flux-averaged QEL cross sections in the (anti)neutrino energy interval 3-100 GeV are σ qel ν μ = (0.92 ± 0.02(stat) ± 0.06(syst)) × 10 −38 cm 2 and σ qel ν μ = (0.81 ± 0.05(stat) ± 0.09(syst)) × 10 −38 cm 2 for neutrino and antineutrino, respectively. The axial mass parameter M A was extracted from the measured quasi-elastic neutrino cross section. The corresponding result is M A = 1.05±0.02(stat)±0.06(syst) GeV. It is consistent with the axial mass values recalculated from the antineutrino cross section and extracted from the pure Q 2 shape analysis of the high purity sample of ν μ quasielastic 2-track events, but has smaller systematic error and should be quoted as the main result of this work. Our measured M A is found to be in good agreement with the world average value obtained in previous deuterium filled bubble chamber experiments. The NOMAD measurement of M A is lower than those recently published by K2K and MiniBooNE Collaborations. However, within the large errors quoted by these experiments on M A , these results are compatible with the more precise NOMAD value.PACS 13.15.+g · 25.30.Pt

The longstanding discrepancy between bubble chamber measurements of ν μ -induced single pion production channels has led to large uncertainties in pion production cross section parameters for many years. We extend the reanalysis of pion production data in deuterium bubble chambers where this discrepancy is solved (Wilkinson et al., PRD 90, 112017 2014) to include the ν μ n → μ − pπ 0 and ν μ n → μ − nπ + channels, and use the resulting data to fit the parameters of the GENIE pion production model. We find a set of parameters that can describe the bubble chamber data better than the GENIE default parameters, and provide updated central values and reduced uncertainties for use in neutrino oscillation and cross section analyses which use the GENIE model. We find that GENIE's non-resonant background prediction has to be significantly reduced to fit the data, which may help to explain the recent discrepancies between simulation and data observed by the MINERνA coherent pion and NOνA oscillation analyses.

“…The earliest neutrino CC1π + measurements used hydrogen or deuterium targets [12][13][14][15][16] or reported neutrino-nucleon cross sections extracted from nuclear target data by model-dependent corrections [17][18][19]. These data, particularly the ANL [13] and BNL [14] data, are used to constrain the neutrino-nucleon pion production models contained in event generators, but these constraints are fairly weak because the ANL and BNL measurements differ by up to ∼40% in normalization.…”

Charged pion production via charged-current νµ interactions on plastic scintillator (CH) is studied using the MINERvA detector exposed to the NuMI wideband neutrino beam at Fermilab. Events with hadronic invariant mass W < 1.4 GeV and W < 1.8 GeV are selected in separate analyses: the lower W cut isolates single pion production, which is expected to occur primarily through the ∆(1232) resonance, while results from the higher cut include the effects of higher resonances. Cross sections as functions of pion angle and kinetic energy are compared to predictions from theoretical calculations and generator-based models for neutrinos ranging in energy from 1.5-10 GeV. The data are best described by calculations which include significant contributions from pion intranuclear rescattering. These measurements constrain the primary interaction rate and the role of final state interactions in pion production, both of which need to be well understood by neutrino oscillation experiments.
