Neutrino Cross Sections and Scattering Physics
نویسنده
چکیده
Large flux uncertainties and small cross sections have made neutrino scattering physics a challenge. However, a worthwhile challenge, as these tiny particle interactions can teach us a lot about neutrinos themselves, the weak interaction, and nucleon structure. As well, knowledge of these cross sections is crucial input to the growing field of neutrino oscillation physics. New, intense, well understood neutrino beams now available, are enhancing both oscillation and neutrino scattering physics measurements. The latest neutrino scattering results from NOMAD, K2K, and MiniBooNE, presented here, take advantage of these new neutrino sources. These results, as well as what to expect in the future, are discussed below.

Excitation of nuclear giant resonances in neutrino scattering off nuclei
The cross sections for neutrino scattering off the C and O nuclei are calculated within the framework of the continuum Random Phase Approximation. A model to consider also the final state interactions is developed. Total charge-conserving and charge-exchange cross sections for both electron neutrinos and antineutrinos have been calculated up to projectile energies of 100 MeV. The sensitivity of...
متن کاملCalculation of the triple and double cross sections in the proton-hydrogen impact at the ionization channel by removing singularity in the scattering amplitudes
In the present work, the triple and double cross sections of atomic hydrogen ionization in collision with the proton are calculated. The potential of the interaction is considered as a Coulombic; also, the first and second order Born approximations have been used. The singularity of the Green operator in the second order approximation has been removed for the analytical solution of the scatt...
متن کاملBremsstrahlung of Flavor-degenerate Pairs by Neutrinos in the Nuclear Field
Neutrino bremsstrahlung of flavor-degenerate pairs in the field of a nucleus is of potential importance for neutrino astrophysics and is representative of a class of processes connecting leptonic electroweak sectors to real or virtual photons. We focus on first generation flavor production by both electron and muon neutrinos and present Standard Model cross sections and distributions for lead a...
متن کاملSolar neutrinos: Radiative corrections in neutrino-electron scattering experiments.
Radiative corrections to the electron recoil-energy spectra and to total cross sections are computed for neutrino-electron scattering by solar neutrinos. Radiative corrections change monotonically the electron recoil spectrum for incident 8 B neutrinos, with the relative probability of observing recoil electrons being reduced by about 4 % at the highest electron energies. For p p and 7 Be neutr...
