“Neutrino-Nucleus
Reactions relevant to the atmospheric neutrino and K2K experiments” in close
collaboration with Professor Kuniharu Kubodera; University of South Carolina, Columbia SC,
Professor Toru Sato; Osaka University, Japan and Professor T.-S. H. Lee; In our research we focus on the quasi-elastic neutrino nucleus reactions, which play important roles in the atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillation experiments. Their description involves various nuclear effects like final state interactions, initial binding effects, etc. To interpret the experimental results we need to find a reliable model describing those effects. As the first step towards this goal we concentrate on the Fermi gas model, which provides a simple description of the neutrino-nucleus reactions. We include the Fermi motion, Pauli blocking and the effects of the initial nucleon binding energy. We compare our results with those obtained with the use of a realistic spectral function. We also compare our calculations with the experimental data for carbon and oxygen. |
