Neutrino-deuteron interactions Effective Field Theory EFT (pionless) Standard Nuclear Physics Approach (SNPA): Potential model Higher-order corrections with mesons, ’s Precision numerical calculation Expansion of interactions in power series. Scattering length a, deuteron binding g, momentum p are all small compared to pion mass  (lowest non-nucleonic excitation) K. Kubodera: NSGK, PRC63, 034617 (2001) NSA+, NP A707, 561 (2002) Butler, Chen, Kong: BCK, PRC 63, 035501 (2001)

  6. Depend on L1A EFT gives general results • Leading order & NLO cross sections model-independent • Cross sections are analytic expressions • All observable parameters (doubly differential cross sections, • angular distributions, neutrino and antineutrino, CC & NC) • First undetermined term is in NNLO. Term is the weak axial two-body current, called L1,A

  7. L1A can be fit to SNPA calculations EFT SNPA A SINGLE choice of L1A produces this agreement!
