Neutrino Scattering at High Energies
نویسنده
چکیده
The construction of a high energy (∼100 GeV), sign-selected neutrino beam opens exciting opportunities to search for beyond-standard-model physics as well as to make valuable QCDmeasurements. Such a beam can be produced at the Tevatron or, potentially, at the CERN SPS+. The resulting physics would be unique and complementary to the present neutrino program. Here we use neutrino-electron scattering as an example.

Ultra - High Energy Neutrino - Nucleon Scattering and Parton Distributions at Small x
The cross section for ultra-high energy neutrino-nucleon scattering is very sensitive to the parton distributions at very small values of Bjorken x (x ≤ 10−4). We numerically investigate the effects of modifying the behavior of the gluon distribution function at very small x in the DGLAP evolution equation. We then use the Color Glass Condensate formalism to calculate the neutrino-nucleon cross...
متن کاملTeV String State Excitation via High Energy Cosmic Neutrinos
We construct the open-string scattering amplitudes for neutrino-gluon collisions and evaluate the high energy neutrino-nucleon scattering cross section via string state excitations in the TeV string-scale scenario. We find that the neutrino-gluon scattering is the dominant contribution, 5 − 10 times larger than neutrino-quark processes, though black hole production may be larger than the string...
متن کاملVector and Axial Nucleon Form Factors: A Duality Constrained Parameterization
We present new parameterizations of vector and axial nucleon form factors. We maintain an excellent descriptions of the form factors at low momentum transfers, where the spatial structure of the nucleon is important, and use the Nachtman scaling variable ξ to relate elastic and inelastic form factors and impose quark-hadron duality constraints at high momentum transfers where the quark structur...
متن کاملNeutrino-Deuteron Scattering in Effective Field Theory at Next-to-Next-to Leading Order
We study the four channels associated with neutrino-deuteron breakup reactions at next-to-next to leading order in effective field theory. We find that the total cross-section is indeed converging for neutrino energies up to 20 MeV, and thus our calculations can provide constraints on theoretical uncertainties for the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. We stress the importance of a direct experiment...
متن کاملInfluence of the nuclear medium on inclusive electron and neutrino scattering off nuclei
We present a model for inclusive electron and neutrino scattering off nuclei paying special attention to the influence of in-medium effects on the quasielastic scattering and pion-production mechanisms. Our results for electron scattering off 16O are compared to experimental data at beam energies ranging from 0.7 to 1.5 GeV. The good description of electron scattering serves as a benchmark for ...
