Neutrino induced pion production at MiniBooNE and K2K energies

TL;DR

This paper analyzes neutrino-induced pion production at energies relevant to MiniBooNE and K2K, using the GiBUU model to compare predictions with experimental data and explore cross section entanglements.

Contribution

It provides a detailed theoretical analysis of neutrino-induced pion production and compares model predictions with recent experimental data at MiniBooNE.

Findings

Good agreement between GiBUU predictions and MiniBooNE data

Insights into the entanglement of CCQE and CC1pi+ cross sections

Predictions for future measurements at similar energies

Abstract

We investigate charged and neutral current neutrino-induced incoherent pion production off nuclei within the GiBUU model at energies relevant for the MiniBooNE and K2K experiments. Special attention is paid to the entanglement between measured CCQE and CC1pi+ cross sections. We further give predictions and compare to recent data measured at MiniBooNE.
