Description
Charged current coherent pion production in (anti) neutrino-nucleus scattering,(−) ν µ+ A→ µ−(+)+ π+(−)+ A, is a process in which a neutrino scatters coherently off a target nucleus. This process leaves the nucleus in its ground state, with the W-boson fluctuating to a charged meson (usually a pion) in the final state. No quantum numbers are exchanged with the nucleus and the magnitude of the square of the four-momentum transfer to the nucleus, denoted as| t|, must be small to maintain coherence. The interaction results in an unchanged nucleus, a lepton and pion in the final state and no other particles. The most common theoretical description of this process is based on Adler’s partially conserved axial vector current (PCAC) theorem [1], which connects the for-
