Abstract
Within the multiple scattering formulation, the incoherent pion production in neutrino-deuteron reactions at energies near the resonance is investigated. The calculations include an impulse term and one-loop contributions from nucleon-nucleon and pion-nucleon final-state interactions. The input amplitudes of scattering and electroweak pion-production reaction on the nucleon are generated from a dynamical model, which describes very extensive data of scattering and both the electromagnetic and the weak pion-production reactions on the nucleon. The scattering amplitudes are generated from the Bonn potential. The validity of the calculational procedures is established by giving a reasonably good description of the data of pion photoproduction on the deuteron. The constructed model is then applied to predict the cross sections of and reactions. The importance of including the final-state interactions to understand the experimental data of these neutrino-deuteron reactions is demonstrated. Our results strongly suggest that the spectator approximation used in the previous analyses to extract the pion-production cross sections on the nucleon from the data on the deuteron is not valid for the , but is a good approximation for .
