Abstract:
A dynamical coupled-channels (DCC) model for neutrino-nucleon reactions in the resonance region is developed. The DCC model is an extension of what we have previously developed through an analysis of pi N, gamma N ---> pi N, nu N, K Lambda, K Sigma reaction data for W <= 2.1 GeV. In extending the DCC model, we analyze electron-induced reaction data for both proton and neutron targets to determine the vector current form factors up to Q^2 <= 3.0 (GeV/c)^2. We derive axial-current matrix elements in accordance with the Partially Conserved Axial Current (PCAC) relation to the pi N interactions of the DCC model. In this way, the interference pattern between resonant and non-resonant amplitudes can be uniquely fixed. We compare our calculated cross sections for neutrino-induced single-pion productions with available data, and find a reasonable agreement. We also calculate cross sections for the two-pion production in the resonance region, for the rst time, with relevant resonance contributions and channel couplings taken into account. We compare the result with the available two-pion production data. The DCC model developed here will be a useful input to a future development of a neutrino-nucleus reaction model and/or a neutrino event generator for analyses of neutrino experiments.
