Nuclear medium effects in ν(ν)-nucleus deep inelastic scattering

الأصل · EN

We study the nuclear medium effects in the weak structure functions F₂(x,Q²) and F₃(x,Q²) in the deep inelastic neutrino/antineutrino reactions in nuclei. We use a theoretical model for the nuclear spectral functions which incorporates the conventional nuclear effects, such as Fermi motion, binding and nucleon correlations. We also consider the pion and rho meson cloud contributions calculated from a microscopic model for meson-nucleus self-energies. The calculations have been performed using relativistic nuclear spectral functions which include nucleon correlations. Our results are compared with the experimental data of NuTeV and CDHSW.
