Modelling neutrino cross sections Jan T. Sobczyk Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Wrocław (in collaboration with A. Ankowski, K. Graczyk, C. Juszczak, J. Nowak)
Plan of the talk: • Overview, „decomposition” of the total cross section. • Quasi-elastic scattering (form-factors, axial mass). • Single pion production (Rein-Sehgal model, Δ excitation models) • More inelastic channels (DIS formalism, structure functions, • higher twists, target mass corrections, low Q2 limit, • quark-hadron duality) • Nuclear effects (Fermi gas, spectral function, • nuclear effects in DIS) • 6. Outlook. Jan T. Sobczyk, Epiphany Conference, Kraków, Jan. 6, 2006
Total neutrino – nucleon cross sections Plots from Wrocław MC generator • We distinguish: • quasi-elastic • single pion production („RES region”, • e.g. W<=2 GeV) • more inelastic („DIS region”) Focus od few GeV neutrino energy region: all 3 dynamics are relevant. Focus on MC implementations Jan T. Sobczyk, Epiphany Conference, Kraków, Jan. 6, 2006

Quasi-elastic reaction CVC – use electromagnetic data PCAC We need the axial form-factor; the standard dipole form gA =1.26 from neutron decay; MA a free parameter (the only one) The value of axial mass is obtained from experimental data. Jan T. Sobczyk, Epiphany Conference, Kraków, Jan. 6, 2006

Single pion production • Theoretical models: • resonance excitation • non-resonant background • Resonance excitation: • in most practical applications: Rein-Sehgal model (18 resonances • up to 2 GeV, interference terms, a fit to data of the non-resonant part) • recent detail study: Lalakulich, Paschos; leptonic mass terms are kept • Sato-Lee model (non-resonant background is included) Jan T. Sobczyk, Epiphany Conference, Kraków, Jan. 6, 2006
