Measurement of total and differential cross sections of neutrino and antineutrino coherent pi(+/-) production on carbon

Neutrino induced coherent charged pion production on nuclei, νμA → μ±π∓A, is a rare inelastic interaction in which the four-momentum squared transferred to the nucleus is nearly zero, leaving it intact. We identify such events in the scintillator of MINERvA by reconstructing |t| from the final state...
