Abstract

We have studied charged current neutrino/antineutrino induced weak pion production from nucleon. For the present study, contributions from $\Delta(1232)$-resonant term, non-resonant background terms as well as contribution from higher resonances viz. $P_{11}$(1440), $D_{13}$(1520), $S_{11}$(1535), $S_{11}$(1650) and $P_{13}$(1720) are taken. To write the hadronic current for the non-resonant background terms, a microscopic approach based on SU(2) non-linear sigma model has been used. The vector form factors for the resonances are obtained from the helicity amplitudes provided by MAID. Axial coupling in the case of $\Delta(1232)$ resonance is obtained by fitting the ANL and BNL $\nu$-deuteron reanalyzed scattering data. The results of the cross sections are presented and discussed for all the possible channels of single pion production induced by charged current interaction.
