Abstract

The main part of coherent pion production by neutrinos on nuclei is essentially determined by partial conservation of the axial current (PCAC), provided that the leptonic momentum transferred square $Q^{2}$ remains sufficiently small. We give the formulas for the charged and neutral current cross sections, including also the small non-PCAC transverse current contributions and taking into account the effect of the $μ^{-}$ -mass. Our results are compared with the experimental ones and other theoretical treatments.
