Using a custom 3 \v{C}erenkov-ring fitter, we report cross sections for $\nu_\mu$-induced charged-current single $\pi^0$ production on mineral oil (\chtwo) from a sample of 5810 candidate events with 57% signal purity over an energy range of $0.5-2.0$GeV. This includes measurements of the absolute total cross section as a function of neutrino energy, and flux-averaged differential cross sections measured in terms of $Q^2$, $\mu^-$ kinematics, and $\pi^0$ kinematics. The sample yields a flux-averaged total cross section of $(9.2\pm0.3_{stat.}\pm1.5_{syst.})\times10^{-39}$cm$^2$/CH$_2$ at mean neutrino energy of 0.965GeV.

Measurement of $\pi^0$ Production in $\bar{\nu}_{\mu}$ Charged-Current Interactions in the NOvA Near Detector
hep-ex 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

The most precise measurement to date of antineutrino-induced neutral pion production shows agreement with the GENIE model but indicates that other models underestimate the cross section in the Delta(1232) resonance region.
