are presented. These data are thought to be useful for tuning the hadronic production models used in extracting results from current and next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments. The data were collected using the CLAS detector, which is a multipurpose, large acceptance, magnetic spectrometer located in Hall B at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility.

, pion momentum, and pion angle are shown for data produced using deuterium, carbon, and iron targets, including radiative corrections. Preliminary comparisons with data simulated using the GENIE generator are made.
