CC1$\pi^+$ to CCQE cross sections ratio at accelerator energies

Nuclear Theory 2009-12-17 v2

Abstract

MiniBooNE and K2K collaborations have recently reported the ratio for the νμ\nu_\mu induced charge current 1π+\pi^+ production cross section to the charged current induced quasielastic lepton production cross section i.e. R(E)=σCC1π+σCCQER(E)=\frac{\sigma^{CC1\pi^+}}{\sigma^{CCQE}}. In this paper we study, theoretically, in a local density approximation the effect of nuclear medium in charged current quasielastic(CCQE) and charged current one pion production(CC1π+\pi^+) processes for the νμ\nu_\mu induced reaction in nuclei. The theoretical results have been compared with the results of experimental observations by the MiniBooNE and K2K collaborations. The ratio R(E) for νμ\nu_\mu induced reaction in water for the proposed T2K experiment is also presented.
