It is possible to investigatevarious neutrino interactionsw/ the K2K near detectors.
(In fact, more precise knowledgeof ν-nucleus interaction is vital to improve the accuracy of (future) oscillation measurements)

Low q2 correction
SciBarnon-QE Events
K2K observed forward µ deficit in all ND (KT, SciFi and SciBar).– A source is non-QE events.– For CC-1π,
• Suppression of ~q2/0.1[GeV2] at q2<0.1[GeV2] may exist.
– For CC-coherent π,• The coherent π may not exist.
We do not identify which process causes the effect. The MC CC-1π(coherent π) model is corrected to be consistent with data.
Oscillation analysis is insensitive to the choice.

Same phenomena is observed by all K2K near detectorsin non-QE sample and other exp. in both QE and non-QE sample.
It is not due to detector systematicsThis discrepancy cannot be explained by the uncertainty of neutrino

This measurement is the first experimental resultin a few GeV region for CC int.
providing the test of the theoretical model(σ(Eν), σ(CC)/σ(NC)=2 , σ(A) …)
SciBar can detect the int. with high efficiency (20~30%) and purity (~50%)thanks to the fully activity.

SummaryThe recent discovery of neutrino oscillation has
renewed interest in the ν-nucleus scattering in thesub to a few GeV region.
In the K2K near detectors, the following topics are studied.- CC coherent pion production (appear soon)- NC pi0 production (submitted in PLB)- MA measurement for water target (appear soon)
On-going analysis-σ(CC1p)/σ(CC) , σ(NC elastic)/σ(QE elastic)- MA (carbon) …..
Many physics results will be released around this summer. Stay tuned!
