Search for Charged Current Coherent Pion Production on Carbon in a Few-GeV Neutrino Beam

Abstract

The SciBooNE Collaboration has performed a search for charged current coherent pion production from muon neutrinos scattering on carbon, ν_μ^{12}C \to μ^- ^{12}C π^+, with two distinct data samples. No evidence for coherent pion production is observed. We set 90% confidence level upper limits on the cross section ratio of charged current coherent pion production to the total charged current cross section at 0.67\times 10^{-2} at mean neutrino energy 1.1 GeV and 1.36\times 10^{-2} at mean neutrino energy 2.2 GeV.
