Charged-current neutrino-nucleus reactions within the superscaling meson-exchange current approach

We present a detailed study of charged-current neutrino-nucleus reactions in a fully relativistic framework and comparisons with recent experiments spanning an energy range from hundreds of MeV up to 100 GeV within the superscaling approach, which is based on the analysis of electron-nucleus scatter...

description We present a detailed study of charged-current neutrino-nucleus reactions in a fully relativistic framework and comparisons with recent experiments spanning an energy range from hundreds of MeV up to 100 GeV within the superscaling approach, which is based on the analysis of electron-nucleus scattering data and has been recently improved with the inclusion of relativistic mean field theory effects. We also evaluate and discuss the impact of two-particle two-hole meson-exchange currents on neutrino-nucleus interactions through the analysis of two-particle two-hole axial and vector contributions to weak response functions in a fully relativistic Fermi gas. The results show a fairly good agreement with experimental data over the whole range of neutrino energies.
