Including nucleon–nucleon correlations due to both Fermi statistics and nuclear forces, we have developed a general formalism for calculating the neutral–current neutrino–nucleon scattering rates in nuclear matter. We derive corrections to the dynamic structure factors due to both density and spin correlations and find that neutrino–nucleon scattering rates are suppressed by large factors aroun...

Radiative corrections are calculated for antineutrino proton quasielastic scattering, neutrino deuteron scattering, and the asymmetry of polarised neutron beta decay from which GA/GV is determined. A particular emphasis is given to the constant parts that are usually absorbed into the coupling constants, and thereby those that appear in the processes that concern us are unambiguously tied among...

The NuSOnG experiment is a proposal for a next-generation high-statistics, high-energy neutrino scattering experiment using an external proton beam, possibly at Fermilab or CERN, to create a high-energy sign-selected neutrino beam. The NuSOnG experiment would have the potential to make much improved electroweak and QCD precision measurements along with direct searches for new physics. The preci...

In this paper we show that the neutrino observables, including an information about the transverse neutrino spin polarization, can be sensitive to the effects coming from the interference terms between the standard vector V, axial A couplings of L-handed neutrinos and exotic scalar S coupling of R-handed ones in the differential cross section. Our analysis is based on the electron neutrino-elec...

It’s a common knowledge that the quasielastic neutrino-neutron and antineutrino-proton cross sections tend to the same constant as (anti)neutrino energy becomes high. In this paper we calculate the exact expression of the limit in terms of the parameters describing quasielastic scattering. We check that even at very high energies only small absolute values of the four-momentum transfer contribu...

a The first neutrino observations from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory are presented from preliminary analyses. Based on energy, direction and location, the data in the region of interest appear to be dominated by 8 B solar neutrinos, detected by the charged current reaction on deuterium and elastic scattering from electrons, with very little background. Measurements of radioactive backgrounds...

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 wi...

We report our measurement of the weak mixing angle, sin 2 W , in neutrino{nucleon deep inelastic scattering in the NuTeV experiment at Fermilab. Using separate neutrino and anti-neutrino beams we are able to use the Paschos-Wolfenstein relations to extract sin 2 W with low systematic errors. Our preliminary result is sin 2 W (on?shell) 1 ? m 2 W =m 2 Z = 0:22530:0019(stat)0:0010(syst), which in...

In the impulse approximation regime the nuclear response to a weakly interacting probe can be written in terms of the measured nucleon structure fuctions and the target spectral function, yielding the energy and momentum distribution of the constituent nucleons. We discuss a calculation of charged current neutrino-oxygen interactions in the quasielastic channel, carried out within nuclear many ...
