High-energy limit of neutrino quasielastic cross section
نویسنده
چکیده
It’s a common knowledge that the quasielastic neutrino-neutron and antineutrino-proton cross sections tend to the same constant as (anti)neutrino energy becomes high. In this paper we calculate the exact expression of the limit in terms of the parameters describing quasielastic scattering. We check that even at very high energies only small absolute values of the four-momentum transfer contribute to the cross section, hence the Fermi theory can be applied. The dipole approximation of the form factors allows to perform analytic calculations. Obtained results are neutrino-flavour independent.

First Measurement of Muon Neutrino Charged Current Quasielastic (CCQE) Double Differential Cross Section
Using a high statistics sample of muon neutrino charged current quasielastic (CCQE) events, we report the first measurement of the double differential cross section ( d 2σ dTμ d cos θμ ) for this process. The result features reduced model dependence and supplies the most complete information on neutrino CCQE scattering to date. Measurements of the absolute cross section as a function of neutrin...

Experimental results on the study of quasielastic reactions vun~#-p and ~,p--,#+n in the energy range 3-30 GeV are presented in this paper. Spark chamber detector with A1 filters has been exposed to the wide-band neutrino and antineutrino beams at Serpukhov. Neutrino and antineutrino data have been used to reconstruct the behaviour of axial-vector form-factor FA(Q2). We measured the total cross...
متن کاملPrecise quasielastic neutrino/nucleon cross section
Quasielastic antineutrino/proton and neutrino/neutron scatterings can be well approximated by simple formulæ, valid around MeV or GeV energies. We obtain a single expression valid in the whole range, and discuss its relevance for studies of supernova neutrinos, which reach intermediate energies.
متن کاملNuclear model effects in Charged Current neutrino–nucleus quasielastic scattering
The quasielastic scattering of muon neutrinos on oxygen 16 and carbon 12 targets is studied for neutrino energies between 200 MeV and 1 GeV, using the relativistic Fermi gas and a relativistic shell model. Final state interactions are included within the distorted wave impulse approximation. The different models are then employed to compute the inclusive charged–current quasielastic cross secti...

This is an exciting time for folks who are looking at neutrino cross sections, and the especially important quasielastic interaction. We are able to inspect several recent results from K2K and MiniBooNE and are looking forward to a couple more high statistics measurements of neutrino and anti-neutrino interactions. There is additional interest because of the need for this cross section informat...
