We describe the spectra of neutral pions stemming from AuAu collisions at $\sqrt s$ = 200 AGeV in a `soft + hard' model. The model is based on the assumptions that hadrons stemming from hard processes are described via perturbative quantum…
In this talk I review the main features of the coherent/diffractive pion production by neutrinos on nuclei. The method is based on PCAC and relates the reaction $\textbf{boson} + \textbf{nucleus} \to \textbf{pion} + \textbf{nucleus}$ to…
We use PCAC in the small $Q^2$ region in order to calculate the Adler sum rule and the production of hadrons in the low energy region where resonances dominate. We find very good agreement with the sum rule and with the computed cross…
