Abstract

MiniBooNE reports the first absolute cross sections for neutral current single π⁰ production on CH₂ induced by neutrino and antineutrino interactions measured from the largest sets of NC π⁰ events collected to date. The principal result consists of differential cross sections measured as functions of π⁰ momentum and π⁰ angle averaged over the neutrino flux at MiniBooNE. We find total cross sections of (4.76+/-0.05_stat+/-0.40_sys)*10⁻⁴⁰ cm²/nucleon at a mean energy of <E_ν>=808 MeV and (1.48+/-0.05_stat+/-0.14_sys)*10⁻⁴⁰ cm²/nucleon at a mean energy of <E_ν>=664 MeV for ν_μ and \barν_μ induced production, respectively. In addition, we have included measurements of the neutrino and antineutrino total cross sections for incoherent exclusive NC 1π⁰ production corrected for the effects of final state interactions to compare to prior results.
