STUDY OF PION PRODUCTION IN v_μ CC INTERACTIONS ON ~(16)O USING DIFFERENT MC GENERATORS

摘要

In this report we present simulated event numbers, for various MC generators, for pion production in v_μ CC reactions on ~(16)O. For the simulation we used four different neutrino interaction generators: GENIE, FLUKA, NEUT, and NuWro, as proposed during the 45th Karpacz Winter School on neutrino interactions. First, we give a brief outline of the theoretical models relevant to pion production. We then present results, in the form of tables showing the occupancy of primary and final state pion topologies, for all the generated samples. Finally we compare the results from the different generators and draw conclusions about the similarities and differences. For some of the generators we explore the effect of varying the axial mass parameter or the use of a different nuclear model.
