Description

We re-evaluate our model predictions in Phys. Rev. D 79, 013002 (2009) for different observables in neutrino induced coherent pion production. This comes as a result of the new improved fit to old bubble chamber data of the dominant axial C5A nucleon-to-Delta form factor. We find an increase of 20%∼30% in the values for the total cross sections. Uncertainties induced by the errors in the determination of C5A are computed. Our new results turn out to be compatible within about 1σ with the former ones. We also stress the existing tension between the recent experimental determination of the σ(CCcohπ+)/σ(NCcohπ0) ratio by the SciBooNE Collaboration and the theoretical predictions.
