Measurement of $ u_{mu}$ and $bar{ u}_{mu}$ Neutral Current $pi^{0} rightarrow gammagamma$ Production in the ArgoNeuT Detector

The ArgoNeuT collaboration reports the first measurement of neutral current $pi^{0}$ production in $ u_{mu}$-argon and $bar{ u}_{mu}$-argon scattering. This measurement was performed using the ArgoNeuT liquid argon time projection chamber deployed at Fermilabs NuMI neutrino beam with an exposure corresponding to 1.2$times 10^{20}$ protons-on-target from the Fermilab Main Injector and a mean energy for $ u_{mu}$ of 9.6~GeV and for $bar{ u}_{mu}$ of 3.6~GeV. We compare the measured cross section and kinematic distributions to predictions from the GENIE and NuWro neutrino interaction event generators.
