Neutrino Interactions at Low and Medium Energies
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the calculations for several neutrino induced reactions from low energies to the GeV region. Special attention is paid to nuclear corrections when the targets are medium or heavy nuclei. Finally, we present several ratios of neutral to charged current reactions whose values on isoscalar targets can be estimated accurately. The ratios are useful for investigating neutrino oscillations in Long Baseline experiments.

Neutrino interactions with nucleons and nuclei at intermediate energies
We investigate neutrino-nucleus collisions at intermediate energies incorporating quasielastic scattering and ∆(1232) excitation as elementary processes, together with Fermi motion, Pauli blocking and mean-field potentials in the nuclear medium. A full coupled-channel treatment of final state interactions is achieved with a semiclassical BUU transport model. Results for inclusive reactions and ...

We investigate neutrino-nucleus collisions at intermediate energies incorporating quasielastic scattering and the excitation of 13 resonances as elementary processes, taking into account medium effects such as Fermi motion, Pauli blocking, mean-field potentials and in-medium spectral functions. A coupled-channel treatment of final state interactions is achieved with the GiBUU transport model. R...
متن کاملNeutrino mean free path and in - medium nuclear interaction
Neutrinos produced during the collapse of a massive star are trapped in a nuclear medium (the proto-neutron star). Typically, neutrino energies (10-100 MeV) are of the order of nuclear giant resonances energies. Hence, neutrino propagation is modified by the possibility of coherent scattering on nucleons. We have compared the predictions of different nuclear interaction models. It turns out tha...

An overview of neutrino-nucleus interactions is presented. After a brief discussion of theory and applications of detector response three examples are discussed: i) Recent work on neutrino-deuteron reactions, ii) Probing strangeness content of the nucleon with neutrinos, and iii) The role of neutrino reactions in supernova dynamics and r-process nucleosynthesis. Recent observations of solar 1),...
متن کاملMINERνA: a dedicated neutrino scattering experiment at NuMI
MINERνA is a dedicated neutrino cross-section experiment planned for the NuMI beamline at Fermilab [1]. The advent of high rate neutrino beamlines designed for studies of long-baseline neutrino oscillation at the atmospheric δm, such NuMI, CNGS and J-PARC ν, opens up new potential for high rate neutrino cross-section measurements. Among those beamlines, NuMI provides the optimal combination of ...
