On Impact of Nuclear Effects on Weak Pion Production in Sub 1 GeV Energy Region
Abstract
Charged-current single pion production in scattering off 12C is investigated for neutrino energies up to 1 GeV. An impact of nuclear effects with in-medium modifications of the Delta(1232) resonance properties as well as an effective field theory nonresonant background contribution are discussed. Dependence of the fraction of Delta(1232) decays into npnh states on incident neutrino energy is estimated. A model of Nieves et al. [1] is further developed by performing exact integration avoiding several approximations. The effect of exact integration is investigated both for double-differential and total neutrino-nucleus cross sections.
