This measurement uses a narrow-band neutrino beam with an average neutrino energy of 2.7 GeV, which is of interest to ongoing and future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. The measured, flux-averaged cross section is s=13.8±0.9(stat)±2.3(syst)×10-40cm2/nucleus, consistent with model prediction. This result is the most precise measurement of neutral-current coherent p0 production in the few-GeV neutrino energy region.
