description

Abstract The neutrino production of Δ in 16 O has been studied at intermediate energies relevant to atmospheric neutrino experiments. The Δ production cross sections with electrons or muons in the final state is found to be reduced due to nuclear effects. This reduction is even larger for the accompanying one pion production cross sections. The ratio of electron to muon production cross sections, however, does not show any significant dependence on nuclear medium effects.
