Match the shape of angular distribution data.

Abstract

We present theoretical predictions in the framework of the ANP model for single pion production ($\pi^+, \pi^0$) in $\nu_\mu$ and $\bar\nu_\mu$ scattering off mineral oil and plastic. Our results for the total cross sections and flux averaged differential distributions are compared to all available data of the MiniBooNE and MINER$\nu$A experiments. While our predictions slightly undershoot the MiniBooNE data they reproduce the normalization of the MINER$\nu$A data for the kinetic energy distribution. For the dependence on the polar angle we reproduce the shape of the arbitrarily normalized data.
