Neutrino induced weak pion production off the nucleon

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 q2q^2-differential cross section data, we make a new fit of the C5A(q2)C_5^A(q^2) axial nucleon to Delta form factor. The new result C5A(0)=0.867±0.075C_5^A(0)=0.867\pm 0.075 is some 30% smaller than the commonly accepted value. This correction is compatible with most quark model estimates and a recent lattice calculation
