Inelastic scattering of neutrinos on nuclei

Resumo

The cross section of inelastic neutrino interaction with ⁵⁶Fe and ²⁰⁸Pb nuclei is calculated. Investigation of these processes caused by neutral currents is essential for considering phenomena that occur during Supernova explosions and designing astrophysical neutrino detectors. The inelastic neutrino scattering cross section is calculated using the model independent approach, which is based on experimental data on nuclear structure. The values of the matrix elements of the considered reaction are determined from the characteristics of electromagnetic dipole М1 transitions in nuclei, obtained by means of nuclear resonance fluorescence.
