Low Energy Neutrino Cross Sections: Comparison of Various Monte Carlo Predictions to Experimental Data

Abstract

Charged and neutral current low energy neutrino cross section predictions from a variety of Monte Carlo generators in present use are compared against existing experimental data. Comparisons are made to experimental data on quasi-elastic, resonant and coherent single pion production, multiple pion production, single kaon production, and total inclusive cross sections, and are restricted to the case of muon neutrino scattering off free nucleons.
