The MiniBooNE experiment has just completed a measurement of the CCpi+/CCQE cross section ratio as a function of neutrino energy. In addition, a new event fitter has been developed that allows for the reconstruction of not only the final state muon, but the charged pion as well. By using a new particle identification technique, we are able to distinguish muon and pion tracks with an 88%...

The MiniBooNE experiment has collected what is currently the world’s largest sample of muon neutrino charged current single charged pion (CC1pi+) interactions, roughly 46,000 events. The purity of the CC1pi+ sample is 87% making this the purest event sample observed in the MiniBooNE detector. The average energy of neutrinos producing CC1pi+ interactions in MiniBooNE is about 1 GeV, therefore...

Single charged pion production via neutrino-nucleus charged current (CC) interaction is a dominant background process for muon neutrino disappearance measurements in a few-GeV energy range, and thus needs to be understood more precisely. The SciBooNE experiment has ability to separate CC coherent pion production from CC resonant pion production by using a fully-active fine-segmented...

The precise measurement of neutrino-nucleus cross-sections in the few GeV energy range is an essential ingredient in the interpretation of neutrino oscillation experiments.
SciBooNE is ~1 GeV muon neutrino scattering experiment based at Fermilab, USA, that ran from June 2007 until August 2008 in both neutrino and anti-neutrino mode.
We will present a search for charged current coherent pion...
