Ng. Kelkar et al., COHERENT PION-PRODUCTION IN NEUTRINO NUCLEUS COLLISION IN THE 1 GEV REGION, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 55(4), 1997, pp. 1964-1971
We calculate cross sections for coherent pion production in nuclei ind
uced by neutrinos and antineutrinos of the electron and muon types. Th
e analogies and differences between this process and the related ones
of coherent pion production induced by photons or the (p,n) and (He-3,
t) reactions are discussed, The process is one of the several ones occ
urring for intermediate energy neutrinos, to be considered when detect
ing atmospheric neutrinos. For this purpose the results shown here can
be easily extrapolated to other energies and other nuclei.
