Resumo
The cross section of neutrino-induced neutral-current coherent π0 production on a carbon-dominated target
is measured in the NOvA near detector. This measurement uses a narrow-band neutrino beam with an
average neutrino energy of 2.7 GeV, which is of interest to ongoing and future long-baseline neutrino
oscillation experiments. The measured, flux-averaged cross section is σ ¼ 13.8 0.9ðstatÞ
2.3ðsystÞ × 10−40 cm2=nucleus, consistent with model prediction. This result is the most precise measure ment of neutral-current coherent π0 production in the few-GeV neutrino energy region.
