Description
We study the dependence of neutrino-induced $\gamma/\pi^0$ production ($\stackrel{ {(-)}}{\nu_\mu} + A \to \stackrel{ {(-)}}{\nu_\mu}(\mu) +\gamma/\pi^0 + X$) on the target nucleus A, at the $\Delta$ resonance mass region.
We predict the ratio of the $\gamma / \pi^0$ production rates in NC and CC interactions and for $\nu_\mu$ and $\bar \nu_\mu$ beams:
- Argon target: $\sim$3.1\% (NC/CC $\nu_\mu/\bar \nu_\mu$)
- Water target: $\sim$1.9\% (NC), $\sim$2.3\% (CC $\nu_\mu$), $\sim$1.7\% (CC $\bar \nu_\mu$)
- Liquid Scintillator target: $\sim$1.7\% (NC), $\sim$2.1\% (CC $\nu_\mu$), $\sim$1.6\% (CC $\bar\nu_\mu$)
We also discuss solving the MiniBooNE anomaly by looking at the CC single photon and single neutral pion production rates at the SBN program experiments at Fermilab.
