3 Neutrinos Induced Pion Production Why measuring π production on nuclei is important? Test of production and final state interaction models Background to oscillation NC 1π 0 background to νe appearance CC 1π + background to CCQE Evidence of Electron Neutrino Appearance in a Muon Neutrino T2K arxiv: MINERvA PRL 111, (2013) Model Parameter Uncertainty CC Resonance Norm. 20% Resonance MA 20% Non-resonances π production 50% 3

4 Neutrinos Induced Pion Production G. P. Zeller, PDG 2012 Early experiments measured exclusive final states on H and D2 bubble chambers Neutrino hits a nucleon Low statistics Uncertain flux determination 4

5 Neutrinos Induced Pion Production More recently measurements by MiniBooNE of CC 1π + on CH2 High statistics Neutrino hits a nucleon within a nucleus Final State Interaction FSI S. Dytman NuInt 2012, GIBUU P. Rodrigues NuInt 2012 Theoretical band ANL & BNL inputs Disagreement between MiniBooNE and H, D2 data? Problem with FSI model? Tension between nucleon and nucleus data? 5

6 MINERvA MINERvA is a neutrino scattering experiment in the NuMI beamline at Fermilab. Designed to measure neutrino cross sections, final states, nuclear effects and A-dependence on a variety of targets in the few-gev region. 6

15 CC Coherent Pion Production ν+a µ - +A+π + ν A(Z,n) µ - Microscopic Models They have neutrino-nucleon pion production via resonance production (typically, resonance). Distortion of the pion wave function is taken into account with a realistic optical potential.
