Nuclear Effects in Neutrino Structure Functions

چکیده
We discuss calculation of nuclear corrections to the structure functions for the deepinelastic scattering of muon and (anti)neutrino. Our approach includes a QCD description of the nucleon structure functions as well as the treatment of Fermi motion and nuclear binding, off-shell correction to bound nucleon structure functions, nuclear pion excess and nuclear shadowing. We emphasize the dependence of nuclear effects on the type and C-parity of (anti)neutrino structure functions. We also examine the interplay between different nuclear effects in the Adler and the Gross–Llewellyn-Smith sum rules for nuclei.

Neutrino Scattering Physics at Superbeams and Neutrino Factories
Neutrino scattering physics is discussed for investigating internal structure of the nucleon and nuclei at future neutrino facilities. We explain structure functions in neutrino scattering. In particular, there are new polarized functions g3, g4, and g5, and they should provide us important information for determining internal nucleon spin structure. Next, nuclear structure functions are discus...
متن کاملNuclear effects in neutrino-nucleus DIS
We explain the current status of nuclear parton distribution functions in connection with neutrino-nucleus interactions. Neutrino deep inelastic scattering (DIS) measurements have been done for heavy nuclear targets such as iron and lead. In order to extract structure functions of the nucleon, one needs to remove nuclear effects from the data. However, recent studies indicate that there are inc...
متن کاملSurprising Results for Nuclear Effects in Neutrino-Nucleus Interactions and the MINERνA Neutrino Nucleus Scattering Program
Nuclear effects of charged current deep inelastic neutrino-iron scattering have been studied in the frame-work of a χ2 analysis of parton distribution functions (PDFs). A set of iron PDFs have been extracted which are then used to compute xB j-dependent and Q2-dependent nuclear correction factors for iron structure functions which are required in global analyses of free nucleon PDFs. Upon compa...
متن کاملPhenomenology of Lepton-nucleus Dis
The results of recent phenomenological studies of unpolarized nuclear deep-inelastic scattering are discussed and applied to calculate neutrino charged-current structure functions and cross sections for a number of nuclei. Significant nuclear effects were discovered in charged-lepton (CL) deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) experiments (for a review see [1,2]). The experimental observations indicat...
متن کاملNuclear Corrections in Neutrino Deep Inelastic Scattering and the Extraction of the Strange Quark Distribution
Recent measurement of the structure function F ν 2 in neutrino deep inelastic scattering allows us to compare structure function measured in neutrino and charged lepton scattering for the first time with reasonable precision. The comparison between neutrino and muon structure functions made by the CCFR Collaboration indicates that there is a discrepancy between these structure functions at smal...
