The article begins with a description of chiral symmetry and its application to neutrino induced reactions. For small $Q^2$ (forward direction) the process is dominated by the amplitute with helicity zero where the pion pole disappears when…
Quark-hadron (QH) duality in lepton scattering off nucleons is studied with the resonance quark model. It is shown that in the case of neutrino scattering off an isoscalar target the duality is simultaneously observed for charged and…
