Description
Neutrino-induced pion production is a major background in neutrino
oscillation experiments, both in the appearance and disappearance
channels, and so must be reliably modeled. We have updated the pion
production model used in the NEUT generator based on available
neutrino-nucleon data along with more recent measurements of pion
production in scattering of neutrinos from medium-A nuclei, producing a set of model parameters and uncertainties suitable for use in T2K
oscillation analyses.
