Abstract
We study neutrino induced one-pion production off the nucleon in and around the Delta resonance region. Apart from the Delta-pole mechanism we include background terms required by chiral symmetry. These background terms give sizeable contributions in all channels. To better reproduce the ANL -differential cross section data, we make a new fit of the axial nucleon to Delta form factor. The new result is some 30% smaller than the commonly accepted value. This correction is compatible with most quark model estimates and a recent lattice calculation
