Nuclear Corrections in Neutrino Deep Inelastic Scattering and the Extraction of the Strange Quark Distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent measurement of the structure function F ν 2 in neutrino deep inelastic scattering allows us to compare structure function measured in neutrino and charged lepton scattering for the first time with reasonable precision. The comparison between neutrino and muon structure functions made by the CCFR Collaboration indicates that there is a discrepancy between these structure functions at small Bjorken x values. In this talk I examine two effects which might account for this experimental discrepancy: nuclear shadowing corrections for neutrinos and contributions from strange and anti strange quarks.

Shadowing in neutrino deep inelastic scattering and the determination of the strange quark distribution
We discuss shadowing corrections to the structure function F2 in neutrino deep-inelastic scattering on heavy nuclear targets. In particular, we examine the role played by shadowing in the comparison of the structure functions F2 measured in neutrino and muon deep inelastic scattering. The importance of shadowing corrections in the determination of the strange quark distributions
متن کاملNuclear PDFs from neutrino deep inelastic scattering
We study nuclear effects in charged current deep inelastic neutrino–iron scattering in the framework of a χ-analysis of parton distribution functions. We extract a set of iron PDFs and show that under reasonable assumptions it is possible to constrain the valence, light sea and strange quark distributions. We compare our results with nuclear parton distribution functions from the literature and...
متن کاملComparison of Neutrino and Muon Structure Functions, Shadowing Corrections and Charge Symmetry Violation
Comparison of structure functions measured in neutrino and charged lepton deep inelastic scattering can be used to test basic properties of parton distribution functions such as the validity of charge symmetry. Recent experiments indicate a substantial discrepancy between F ν 2 and F 2 in the region of small Bjorken-x. We discuss nuclear corrections and strange and anti strange quark effects an...
متن کاملExchange current corrections to neutrino-nucleus scattering. I. Nuclear matter.
Relativistic exchange current corrections to the impulse approximation in low and intermediate energy neutrino–nucleus scattering are presented assuming non–vanishing strange quark form factors for constituent nucleons. Two–body exchange current operators which treat all SU (3) vector and axial currents on an equal footing are constructed by generalizing the soft–pion dominance method of Chemto...

T. Stavreva LPSC, Université Joseph Fourier Grenoble 1, CNRS/IN2P3, INPG, Grenoble, F-38026, France E-mail: [email protected] The neutrino deep inelastic scattering (DIS) data is very interesting for global analyses of proton and nuclear parton distribution functions (PDFs) since they provide crucial information on the strange quark distribution in the proton and allow for a better flavor ...
