Loop corrections to pion and kaon neutrinoproduction

Understand

In this paper we study the next-to-leading order corrections to deeply virtual pion and kaon production in neutrino experiments.

• We estimate these corrections in the kinematics of the Minerva experiment at FERMILAB, and find that they are sizable and increase the leading order cross-section by up to a factor of two.
• We provide a code, which can be used for the evaluation of the cross-sections, taking into account these corrections and employing various GPD models.
