EFFECT OF STRANGENESS FOR NEUTRINO-NUCLEON AND NEUTRINO-NUCLEUS SCATTERING IN QUASIELASTIC REGION

Abstract

We present the neutral-current (NC) and charged-current (CC) reactions by incident neutrino (antineutrino) scattering on the nucleon, and also on the (12)C target in quasi-elastic region within the framework of a relativistic single particle model. Effects of the strangeness are studied on the cross sections, the ratios between the NC and CC reactions, and the asymmetries. We found that there exists some cancellation of the strange quark contributions between the knocked-out protons and neutrons in the neutrino (antineutrino)-nucleus scattering. The effect of the strangeness on the asymmetry exhibits larger than that on the ratio and the cross section.
