Neutrino And Antineutrino Induced Meson Production, Libo Jiang

Theses and Dissertations

Coherent meson production measurement is very important in physics research. First, the coherent pion production is a potential background to v oscillation in next generation of Long Base Line Experiment(ELBNF/DUNE); second, coherent pion and coherent p production provide a detailed test of CVC and PCAC hypothesis; third, coherent meson production can be used to monitor the neutrino and anti-neutrino fluxes in the experiment. This dissertation focuses on two parts: coherent pi production in NOMAD, and coherent p simulation using LBNF fluxes. With the NOMAD data, the ratio between cross-sections of coherent pi- and v charged current interactions was measured and …
