Modeling Neutrino Quasielastic Cross Sections on Nucleons and Nuclei

Abstract

We calculate the total and differential quasielastic cross sections for neutrino and antineutrino scattering on nucleons using up to date fits to the nucleon elastic electromagnetic form factors $G_E^p$, $G_E^n$, $G_M^p$, $G_M^n$, and $F_A$ and pseudoscalar form factors. We compare predictions of the cross sections for nucelons and nuclei to experimental data.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, Presented by Arie Bodek at CIPANP2003, New York City, NY 2003 - to be published in proceeding
