INTERACTION OF INTERMEDIATE ENERGY NEUTRINOS WITH NUCLEI

The interaction of the electron neutrino with the nuclei 12C, 16O, 37CL, 56Fe, 71Ga, and 81Br is considered for neutrino energies up to 300 MeV. The nuclei are described by a single-particle shell model with a Woods-Saxon (WS) potential. The parameters of the potential are specially chosen for each nucleus in order to describe correctly the upper occupied single-particle levels of the nuclei. The cross sections for inelastic and elastic interactions of neutrinos with nuclei are calculated within this model, taking into account charged and neutral currents of the weak interaction. The neutral currents are described by the Weinberg theory. The results of the cross-section calculations are presented and comparisons with the results of other authors are given. © 1979.
