Microscopic theories of neutrino-^{12}C reactions
In view of the recent experiments on neutrino oscillations performed by the
LSND and KARMEN collaborations as well as of future experiments, we present new
theoretical results of the flux averaged and
cross sections. The approaches used are
charge-exchange RPA, charge-exchange RPA among quasi-particles (QRPA) and the
Shell Model. With a large-scale shell model calculation the exclusive cross
sections are in nice agreement with the experimental values for both reactions.
The inclusive cross section for coming from the decay-in-flight of
is to be compared to the experimental value
of , while the one due to
coming from the decay-at-rest of is which
agrees within experimental error bars with the measured values. The shell model
prediction for the decay-in-flight neutrino cross section is reduced compared
to the RPA one. This is mainly due to the different kind of correlations taken
into account in the calculation of the spin modes and partially due to the
shell-model configuration basis which is not large enough, as we show using
arguments based on sum-rules.Comment: 17 pages, latex, 5 figure
