Lepton-nucleus scattering in the impulse approximation regime
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss theoretical calculations of electronand neutrino-nucleus scattering, carried out using realistic nuclear spectral functions and including the effect of final state interactions. Comparison between electron scattering data and the calculated inclusive cross sections off oxygen shows that the Fermi gas model fails to provide a satisfactory description of the measured cross sections, and inclusion of nuclear dynamics is needed. The role of Pali blocking in charged-current neutrino induced reactions at low Q is also analyzed.

Neutrino-nucleus cross section in the impulse approximation regime
In the impulse approximation regime the nuclear response to a weakly interacting probe can be written in terms of the measured nucleon structure fuctions and the target spectral function, yielding the energy and momentum distribution of the constituent nucleons. We discuss a calculation of charged current neutrino-oxygen interactions in the quasielastic channel, carried out within nuclear many ...
متن کاملMassive Lepton Pair Production in Hadron - Hadron Collisions at High Energies
On the basis of a parton model studied earlier we consider the production process of large mass lepton pairs from hadron-hadron inelastic collisions in the limiting region, s --coo, Q 2 /s finite, Q2 and s being the squared invariant masses of the lepton pair and the two initial hadrons, respectively. General scaling properties and connections with deep inelastic electron scattering are discuss...
متن کاملNuclear Effects in the F3 Structure Function
Experiments on deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) of charged leptons and neutrino remains an important source of information about the nucleon as well as about the nuclear structure. DIS experiments with neutrino beams 1,2 has reached now an accuracy comparable to that of experiments with charged leptons. Note in this respect that because of statistics reasons neutrino data are collected for heavy...
متن کاملRelativistic Approaches to Structure Functions of Nuclei
The major tool to compute nuclear structure functions, as measured in inclusive electron scattering on nuclei is a perturbation series in the interaction between the struck nucleon and the remaining spectator nucleus. The first term of this series, the so-called Impulse Approximation, is widely used in an analysis of data. In the non-relativistic regime there exists an alternative expansion of ...
متن کاملHadron production in deep inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering
Predictions for semi-inclusive deep inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering are presented. Both the effects of gluon radiation by the struck quark and the absorption of the produced hadron are considered. The gluon radiation covers a larger window in virtuality Q2 because of the increased deconfinement of quarks inside nuclei. The absorption of hadrons formed inside the nucleus is described with a ...
