Flux Independent Measurements of Deep Inelastic Neutrino Processes

چکیده
2 BP The scaling variable v = xy = 2(Ep/M) sin 2 is useful for the description of deep inelastic neutrino-nucleon scattering processes. This variable is determined solely by the momentum and angle of the outgoing lepton. The normalized scattering distribution in this variable is independent of incident lepton energy and flux, provided scale-invariance is valid. The sensitivity to various hypothetical scale breaking mechanisms is discussed.

Shadowing and Antishadowing in Neutrino Deep Inelastic Scattering
The weak-mixing angle sin θW is an essential parameter in the standard model of electroweak interactions. Until recently, a consistent value was obtained from all electroweak observables 1. However, the NuTeV Collaboration 2 has determined a value for sin θW from measurements of the ratio of charged and neutral current deep inelastic neutrino–nucleus and anti-neutrino–nucleus scattering in iron...
متن کاملUpper Bounds on the Neutrino-Nucleon Inelastic Cross Section
Extraterrestrial neutrinos can initiate deeply developing air showers, and those that traverse the atmosphere unscathed may produce cascades in the ice or water. Up to now, no such events have been observed. This can be translated into upper limits on the diffuse neutrino flux. On the other hand, the observation of cosmic rays with primary energies > 10 GeV suggests that there is a guaranteed f...
متن کاملUltra high energy neutrino-nucleon cross section from cosmic ray experiments and neutrino telescopes
We deduce the cosmogenic neutrino flux by jointly analysing ultra high energy cosmic ray data from HiRes-I and II, AGASA and the Pierre Auger Observatory. We make two determinations of the neutrino flux by using a model-dependent method and a model-independent method. The former is well-known, and involves the use of a power-law injection spectrum. The latter is a regularized unfolding procedur...
متن کاملPositivity constraints for lepton polarization in neutrino deep inelastic scattering
We consider the spin polarization of leptons produced in neutrino and antineutrino nucleon deep inelastic scattering, via charged currents, and we study the positivity constraints on the spin components in a model independent way. These results are very important, in particular in the case of τ leptons, because the polarization information is crucial in all future neutrino oscillation experimen...
متن کاملShadowing in neutrino deep inelastic scattering and the determination of the strange quark distribution
We discuss shadowing corrections to the structure function F2 in neutrino deep-inelastic scattering on heavy nuclear targets. In particular, we examine the role played by shadowing in the comparison of the structure functions F2 measured in neutrino and muon deep inelastic scattering. The importance of shadowing corrections in the determination of the strange quark distributions
