Title:   Measurements of Neutral Current Neutral Pion Production with SciBooNE

Abstract:

As we enter the era of precision neutrino oscillation measurements, the need to improve neutrino interaction
cross section measurements is paramount. SciBooNE at Fermilab uses a fine grained tracking detector to make
precise neutrino and antineutrino cross section measurements on carbon and iron. I will present SciBooNE's
latest physics results, which are measurement of neutral current neutral pion production by neutrinos. These
measurements are of direct relevance to the future global long baseline accelerator neutrino program,
especially the T2K experiment in Japan.
