Understand
The SciBooNE Collaboration reports inclusive neutral current neutral pion production by a muon neutrino beam on a polystyrene target (C8H8).
- We obtain (7.7 \pm 0.5(stat.) \pm 0.5 (sys.)) x 10^(-2) as the ratio of the neutral current neutral pion production to total charged current cross section; the mean energy of neutrinos producing detected neutral pions is 1.1 GeV.
- The result agrees with the Rein-Sehgal model implemented in our neutrino interaction simulation program with nuclear effects.
- The spectrum shape of the neutral pion momentum and angle agree with the model.
