Abstract

Nuclear medium effects in the weak structure functions F2(x,Q2)F_2(x,Q^2) and F3(x,Q2)F_3(x,Q^2) have been studied for deep inelastic neutrino/antineutrino reactions in iron nucleus by taking into account Fermi motion, binding, pion and rho meson cloud contributions, target mass correction, shadowing and anti-shadowing corrections. The calculations have been performed in a local density approximation using relativistic nuclear spectral functions which include nucleon correlations. Using these structure functions we have obtained the ratio RF2,F3A(x,Q2)=2F2,3A(x,Q2)AF2,3D(x,Q2)R_{F2,F3}^A(x,Q^2)= \frac{2F_{2,3}^A(x,Q^2)}{AF_{2,3}^D(x,Q^2)}, the differential scattering cross section 1Ed2σdxdy\frac{1}{E}\frac{d^2\sigma}{dxdy} and the total scattering cross section σ\sigma. The results of our numerical calculations in 56Fe^{56}Fe are compared with the experimental results of NuTeV and CDHSW collaborations.
