Effects of coherence in neutrino production of pions off nuclei are studied employing the color-dipole representation and path integral technique. If the nucleus remains intact, the process is controlled by the interplay of two length scales. One is related to the pion mass and is quite long (at low Q 2 ), while the other, associated with heavy axial-vector states, is much shorter. The Adler relation is found to be broken at all energies, but especially strongly at * 10 GeV, where the cross section is suppressed by a factor $A À1=3 . On the contrary, in a process where the recoil nucleus breaks up into fragments, the Adler relation turns out to be strongly broken at low energies, where the cross section is enhanced by a factor $A 1=3 , but has a reasonable accuracy at higher energies, where all the coherence length scales become long.

Neutrino production of single pions: Dipole description

The light-cone distribution amplitudes for the axial current are derived within the instanton vacuum model (IVM), which incorporates nonperturbative effects including spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. This allows to extend applicability of the dipole approach, usually used in the perturbative domain, down to Q 2 → 0, where partially conserved axial current (PCAC) imposes a relation between the neutrino-production cross section and the one induced by pions. A dramatic breakdown of the Adler relation (AR) for diffractive neutrino-production of pions, caused by absorptive corrections, was revealed recently in [1]. Indeed, comparing with the cross section predicted by the dipole phenomenology at Q 2 → 0 on a proton target we confirmed the sizable deviation from the value given by the AR, as was estimated in [1] within a simplified two-channel model. The dipole approach also confirms that in the black-disc limit, where the absorptive corrections maximize, the diffractive cross section ceases, on the contrary to the expectation based on PCAC.
