Electron-and Neutrino-nucleus Scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
I review the main features of the nuclear response extracted from electron scattering data. The emerging picture clearly shows that the shell model does not provide a fully quantitative description of nuclear dynamics. On the other hand, many body approaches in which correlation effetcs are explicitely taken into account lead to a satisfactory account of electron scattering observables. The possibility of exploiting the knowledge acquired from electron scattering to reduce the systematic uncertainty of neutrino oscillation experiments is outlined.

For neutrino scattering from polarized electron, the weak interaction term in the cross section is significantly suppressed by the polarized term. The magnetic moment term does not receive any correction from the electron polarization. Hence, the study of the magnetic moment of neutrinos through scattering from the polarized electron leads to a stronger bound on the neutrino magnetic moment com...
متن کاملComparison of electron-nucleus quasi-elastic cross sections using spectral functions with (e, e) data from 0.5 GeV to 1.5 GeV and effects on neutrino quasi-elastic cross sections
We carry out a relativistic calculation of the cross sections of electron-O and -C quasi-elastic scattering and quasi-free ∆ production and compare with the (e, e) data systematically in the wide energy range of 0.5 – 1.5 GeV. Using the same formalism, we examine the νμ quasi-elastic scattering from O. The model incorporating the nuclear correlation effects agrees better with the electron-nucle...
متن کاملLepton-nucleus scattering in the impulse approximation regime
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, an...
متن کاملWeak Response of Nuclei
We discuss some differences and similarities between electron and neutrino scattering off atomic nuclei. We find that, in the giant resonance region, the two processes excite different nuclear modes, therefore the weak and the electromagnetic nuclear responses are rather different. In any case, the scattering of electrons and photons is the best guide we have to test the validity of our nuclear...
متن کاملSuperscaling in lepton - nucleus scattering
We suggest that superscaling analyses of few-GeV inclusive electron scattering from nuclei, both in the quasielastic peak and in the region where the ∆-excitation dominates, allow one to make reliable predictions for charge-changing neutrino reactions at energies of a few GeV, relevant for neutrino oscillation experiments.
