The single largest background to future $\bar{\nu_{\mu}}\to \bar{\nu_e}$ ($\nu_\mu \to \nu_e$) oscillation searches is neutral current (NC) $\pi^{0}$ production. MiniBooNE, which began taking antineutrino data in January 2006, has the…

In this paper we study coherent neutrinoproduction of photons [neutral current (NC)] and pions [charged current (CC) and NC] with $E_{\nu} \leqslant 0.5 $ GeV. The production from nucleons and incoherent production with $E_{\nu} \leqslant…
Forward single $\pi^0$ production by coherent neutral-current interactions, $\nu \mathcal{A} \to \nu \mathcal{A} \pi^0$, is investigated using a 2.8$\times 10^{20}$ protons-on-target exposure of the MINOS Near Detector. For single-shower…
