Coherent Neutrino–Nucleus Scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
We review coherent scattering of neutrinos on nuclei by coupling the weak currents to vector and axial-vector meson states. The couplings are obtained from known reactions, like τ–lepton and vector meson decays. We compute and present the cross sections as functions of energy and momentum transfer for various kinematic regions, including those which are relevant to oscillation experiments. The results are presented in figures and are consistent with numerical values used in the interpretation of oscillation experiments.

Overview of progress in neutrino scattering measurements
Recent progress in neutrino scattering experiments with few GeV neutrino beams is reviewed, focusing on new experimental input since the beginning of the NuInt workshop series in 2001. Progress in neutrino quasi-elastic scattering, resonance production, coherent pion production, scattering in the transition region between the resonance and deep inelastic regimes, and nuclear effects in neutrino...

متن کاملDynamical Model of Coherent Electroweak Pion Production Reactions on Nuclei
We have developed a dynamical model for a unified description of the pion-nucleus scattering and photoand neutrino-induced coherent pion production on nuclei. Our approach is based on a combined use of the Sato-Lee model for the electroweak pion production on a single nucleon and the ∆-hole model of pion-nucleus scattering. Numerical calculations are carried out for the case of the 12C target. ...
متن کاملUltra-Low-Energy Germanium Detector for Neutrino-Nucleus Coherent Scattering and Dark Matter Searches
The status and plans of a research program on the development of ultra-low-energy germanium detectors with sub-keV sensitivities are reported. We survey the scientific goals which include the observation of neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering, the studies of neutrino magnetic moments, as well as the searches of WIMP dark matter. In particular, a threshold of 100-200 eV and a sub-keV background...

متن کاملResearch program towards observation of neutrino - nucleus coherent scattering
The article describes the research program towards an experiment to observe coherent scattering between neutrinos and the nucleus at the power reactor. The motivations of studying this process are surveyed. In particular, a threshold of 100-200 eV has been achieved with an ultra-low-energy germanium detector prototype. This detection capability at low energy can also be adapted for searches of ...
