Nuclear effects in neutrino production of Δ at intermediate energies

The neutrino production of Delta in O-16 has been studied at intermediate energies relevant to atmospheric neutrino experiments. The Delta 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. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
