Transport study of charged current interactions in neutrino-nucleus reactions

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v3

Abstract

Within a dynamical transport approach we investigate charged current interactions in neutrino-nucleus reactions for neutrino energies of 0.3 - 1.5 GeV with particular emphasis on resonant pion production channels via the Δ33(1232)\Delta_{33}(1232) resonance. The final-state-interactions of the resonance as well as of the emitted pions are calculated explicitly for 12C^{12}C and 56Fe^{56}Fe nuclei and show a dominance of pion suppression at moderate momenta pπ>p_\pi > 0.2 GeV/c. A comparison to integrated π+\pi^+ spectra for νμ+12C\nu_\mu + ^{12}C reactions with the available (preliminary) data demonstrates a reasonable agreement.
