Superscaling and neutral current quasielastic neutrino-nucleus scattering

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

The superscaling approach is applied to studies of neutral current neutrino reactions in the quasielastic regime. Using input from scaling analyses of electron scattering data, predictions for high-energy neutrino and antineutrino cross sections are given and compared with results obtained using the relativistic Fermi gas model. The influence of strangeness content inside the nucleons in the nucleus is also explored.
