Charm of small $x$ neutrino DIS

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

Due to the weak current non-conservation the diffractive excitation of charm and strangeness dominates the longitudinal structure function FL(x,Q2)F_L(x,Q^2) of neutrino DIS at small Bjorken xx. Based on the color dipole BFKL approach we report quantitative predictions for this effect in the kinematical range of the CCFR/NuTeV experiment. We comment on the relevance of our findings to experimental tests of PCAC.
