“…The probabilities for each are 31.33% (π 0 , π 0 ), 62.67% (π + , π − ) and 6% of strange meson pairs. The probability of producing a strange baryon via associated production is determined from a fit to Λ production data [86,87,88,89]: Fig. 1 shows the data/model comparisons of the average charged hadron multiplicity < n ch > as a function of the squared hadronic invariant mass for νp and νn interactions.…”

GENIE[1] is a new neutrino event generator for the experimental neutrino physics community. The goal of the project is to develop a 'canonical' neutrino interaction physics Monte Carlo whose validity extends to all nuclear targets and neutrino flavors from MeV to PeV energy scales. Currently, emphasis is on the few-GeV energy range, the challenging boundary between the non-perturbative and perturbative regimes, which is relevant for the current and near future long-baseline precision neutrino experiments using accelerator-made beams. The design of the package addresses many challenges unique to neutrino simulations and supports the full life-cycle of simulation and generator-related analysis tasks.GENIE is a large-scale software system, consisting of ∼120,000 lines of C++ code, featuring a modern object-oriented design and extensively validated physics content.

“…Strange particle production by neutrinos has previously been observed in bubble chambers [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] and in NOMAD [32]. Gargamelle observed three NC K + production events [31], and reported a neutral-to chargedcurrent ratio for strangeness production.…”

“…Hadronization at higher energies is simulated with the AGKY model [47] based on the gradual transition from KNO scaling [45] to the Lund string model of PYTHIA (version 6) [46] with increasing W . Parameters that control the rate of strange particle production in hadronization are tuned such that rates of Λ and K 0 S production on deuterium and neon agree with BEBC [21][22][23][24] and Fermilab 15' [25,26] bubble chamber measurements. FSI are modeled using the INTRANUKE package [42,48].…”

Neutral-current production of K + by atmospheric neutrinos is a background in searches for the proton decay p → K + ν. Reactions such as νp → νK + Λ are indistinguishable from proton decays when the decay products of the Λ are below detection threshold. Events with K + are identified in MINERvA by reconstructing the timing signature of a K + decay at rest. A sample of 201 neutrinoinduced neutral-current K + events is used to measure differential cross sections with respect to the K + kinetic energy, and the non-K + hadronic visible energy. An excess of events at low hadronic visible energy is observed relative to the prediction of the neut event generator. Good agreement is observed with the cross section prediction of the genie generator. A search for photons from π 0 decay, which would veto a neutral-current K + event in a proton decay search, is performed, and a 2σ deficit of detached photons is observed relative to the genie prediction.
