Popis: The MiniBooNE neutrino beam and detector at Fermilab are used to study the production of neutral current π0 events. The cross sections for neutrino interactions with mineral oil (CH2 ) are reported for resonantly produced and coherently produced single π0 events. We measure a resonant single π0 cross section of σ(νμ퓝 → νμ퓝 π0) = (0.0129 ± 0.0011(stat.) ± 0.0043(syst.)) × 10-36 cm2 / CH2 at a mean neutrino energy of 1.26 GeV. We measure a coherent single π0 cross section of σ(νμ퓐 → νμ퓐 π0) = (0.00077 ± 0.00016(stat.) ± 0.00036(syst.)) × 10-36 cm2 / CH2 at mean neutrino energy 1.12 GeV.
