Abstract

We construct a model for inelastic neutrino- and electron-nucleon scattering cross sections using effective leading order parton distribution functions with a new scaling variable ξw\xi_w. Non-perturbative effects are well described using the ξw\xi_w scaling variable, in combination with multiplicative KK factors at low Q2Q^2.Our model describes all inelastic charged lepton-nucleon scattering (including resonance) data (HERA/NMC/BCDMS/SLAC/JLab) ranging from very high Q2Q^2 to very low Q2Q^2 and down to the photo-production region. The model describes existing inelastic neutrino-nucleon scattering measurements, and has been developed to be used in analysis of neutrino oscillation experiments in the few GeV region.
