We shall present the results for the nuclear effects in $F^A_2(x)$ and $F^A_3(x)$ structure functions in the deep inelastic neutrino(anti-neutrino) induced charged lepton production on some nuclear targets which are being used in the present neutrino oscillation experiments. These theoretical calculations have been done by using a spectral function to describe the momentum distribution of...

The Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) is a two detector, long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment that uses the Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) beam at Fermilab. Both MINOS detectors are iron-scintillator tracking/sampling calorimeters. The MINOS near detector has recorded the world's largest dataset of neutrino interactions in the 0-10 GeV region. This high...

The anti-neutrino data collected at the MiniBooNE project has many complications not present in neutrino-mode data. Purity is much lower in the sample due to so-called Wrong Sign contamination (neutrinos in the anti-neutrino sample), and there is an additional relevant scattering target in hydrogen. We want to fit the axial parameter M_A and pauli blocking parameter Kappa to our data to...

SciBooNE, located in the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermilab, collected data from June 2007 to August 2008 to accurately measure muon neutrino and anti-neutrino cross sections on carbon below 1 GeV neutrino energy. SciBooNE is studying charged current interactions. Among them, neutral pion production interactions will be the focus of this poster. The experimental signature of neutrino-induced...

An event generator of neutrino-nucleon and neutrino-nucleus interactions has been developed for the general purpose Monte Carlo code {\sc fluka}. The generator includes options for simulating quasi-elastic interactions, the neutrino-induced resonance production and deep inelastic scattering. Moreover, it shares the hadronization routines developed earlier in the framework of the {\sc fluka}...

In this poster we report on the measurement of the rate of the inclusive π production induced by charged-current neutrino interactions in the K2K SciBar detector, at a mean energy of 1.3 GeV in the K2K near detector. Out of a sample of 11,606 charged current neutrino interactions, we select 479 π0 events with two reconstructed photons.
We find that the cross section ratio of the inclusive π0...

To further our understanding of neutrino interactions, it is desirable to measure absolute cross sections on nucleon and nuclear targets. Many past neutrino experiments have measured relative cross sections due to a lack of precise measurements of the incident neutrino flux, normalizing to better established reaction processes, such as quasielastic neutrino-nucleon scattering. Absolute...

Using high statistics samples of charged current interactions, MiniBooNE reports a measurement of the single charged pion production to quasi-elastic cross section ratio on mineral oil (CH2), both with and without corrections for pion re-interactions in the target nucleus. The result is provided as a function of neutrino energy in the range 0.4 GeV < E < 2.4 GeV with 11% precision in the...

We present a model for neutrino-nucleus scattering in the energy region relevant for present and forthcoming neutrino oscillation experiments.
The model is based on the RPA treatment of the nuclear responses in the quasi elastic and delta region. It includes also in a phenomenological way nucleon knock-out.
It aims at the description in an unique framework of several final state channels...

It is pointed out that so far all theoretical estimates of coherent pion production off nuclei induced by neutrinos rely on the 'local approximation' well known in photonuclear physics. The effects of dropping this approximation are discussed. It is found that in a plane wave approximation for the pion the local approximation overestimates the coherent neutrino-induced pion production on nuclei.

We present the prospect for a dimuon analysis at the MINOS Near Detector. A sample of about 10M muon-neutrino charged current events has been accumulated with the MINOS Near Detector. The dimuon analysis focuses on neutrino charm-production where the charmed hadron decays into a positive-muon. Estimates of signal efficiency and background, and the sensitivity to physics parameters will be presented.
