Abstract: (arXiv)
As a first step toward developing a reaction model that enables a comprehensive description of neutrino-nucleon reactions in the nucleon resonance region, we have applied for the first time a dynamical coupled-channels model, which successfully describes \pi N, \gamma N --> \pi N, \eta N, \pi \pi N, K\Lambda, K\Sigma reactions up to W = 2 GeV, to predict the neutrino-induced meson-production reactions with \Delta S = 0 at the forward angle limit. This has been achieved by relating the divergence of the axial-current matrix elements at Q^2 = 0 to the \pi N --> X reaction amplitudes through the PCAC hypothesis. We present the contributions from each of the \pi N, \eta N, \pi \pi N, K\Lambda, K\Sigma channels to the F_2 structure function at Q^2 --> 0 limit up to W = 2 GeV.Note:
