MK single pion production model

Abstract

This paper presents an update to the MK model, which was developed to describe single pion production in neutrino-nucleon interactions. Originally the MK model used the helicity amplitudes and the hadronic current form-factors of the Rein and Sehgal model. The update includes a new definition for the helicity amplitudes in the first and second resonance regions, and new vector-current form factors. Fits to electron-proton scattering data were used to determine these vector-current form factors, and to assign errors to the constrained free parameters of the model.
