Status of the ν_μ charged-current coherent π⁺ production in the NOvA near detector

Neutrino cross sections are an essential component to any neutrino measurement. With modern neutrino experiments targeting to measure precision parameters, such as those in long-baseline oscillation experiments like NOvA, the need for a detailed understanding of neutrino interactions has become even more important. Among the neutrino-nucleus interactions, Charged-Current Coherent pion production is currently poorly understood. This talk will give an overview of the status of the Charged-Current Coherent Pion Production analysis conducted with the NOvA near detector based at Fermilab that uses Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to identify muons and pions. Since NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment mainly aimed at measuring electron neutrino appearance in a muon neutrino beam with energy 1-5 GeV, the results of this analysis will be relevant for future experiments in this energy range, like DUNE
