QE Neutrino CC Cross Sections off 16

چکیده
The charged-current quasi-elastic scattering of muon neutrino on oxygen target is computed for neutrino energy between 200 MeV and 2.5 GeV using different approximations: the Plane Wave Impulse Approximation (PWIA), the Relativistic Distorted Wave Impulse Approximation with relativistic optical potential (RDWIA), and the Relativistic Fermi Gas Model (RFGM). The comparison with RFGM, which is widely used in data analyses of neutrino experiments, shows that the RFGM fails completely when applied to exclusive cross section data and leads to overestimated values of inclusive and total cross sections.

Measurement of Charged Current Charged Single Pion Production in SciBooNE
Neutrino-induced charged current single charged pion production (CC-1π) is dominated by baryonic resonance excitation off a single nucleon bound in a nucleus in the neutrino energy region of a few GeV. The resonance state is followed by its prompt decay into a nucleon and a pion in the final state. The process is written as νμN → μ Nπ, where N is proton or neutron. In addition to this reaction,...

A recent experiment by the NuTeV collaboration resulted in a surprisingly high value for the weak mixing angle sin 2 θ W. The Paschos-Wolfenstein relation, relating neutrino cross sections to the Weinberg angle, is of pivotal importance in the NuTeV analysis. In this work, we investigate the sensitivity of the Paschos-Wolfenstein relation to nuclear structure aspects at neutrino energies in the...

متن کاملModelling Cc Neutrino Cross Sections in the Few Gev Energy Region *
The aim of this paper is to review some of recent developments in modelling the Charge Current (CC) neutrino interactions with both free nucleons and nuclei targets in the few GeV neutrino energy region [1]. This energy range is characteristic for atmospheric neutrinos and for several running or approved long-baseline experiments. The knowledge of the cross sections is necessary for future more...
متن کاملLow Energy Neutrino Cross Sections: Comparison of Various Monte Carlo Predictions to Experimental Data
Charged current (CC) and neutral current (NC) low energy neutrino cross section predictions from a variety of Monte Carlo generators in present use are compared against existing experimental data. Comparisons are made to experimental data on quasi-elastic, resonant and coherent single pion production, multiple pion production, single kaon production, and total inclusive cross sections, and are ...
