Abstract
The total cross sections as well as the neutrino event rates are calculated in the charged current neutrino and antineutrino scattering off132Xe isotope at neutrino energiesEv<100 MeV. Transitions to excited nuclear states are calculated in the framework of quasiparticle random-phase approximation. The contributions from different multipoles are shown for various neutrino energies. Flux-averaged cross sections are obtained by convolving the cross sections with a two-parameter Fermi-Dirac distribution. The flux-averaged cross sections are also calculated using terrestrial neutrino sources based on conventional sources (muon decay at rest) or on low-energy beta-beams.
Highlights
The detection of neutrinos and their properties is one of the top priorities of modern nuclear and particle physics as well as astrophysics
Mured cross sections for neutrinonucleus scattering at neutrino energies which are relevant for supernova neutrinos are available in only a few cases, that is, for 56Fe [15], 12C [15, 16], and the deuteron [17]
The corresponding single-particle energies (SPE) were produced by the Coulomb corrected Woods-Saxon potential using the parameters of Bohr and Mottelson [72]
Summary
The detection of neutrinos and their properties is one of the top priorities of modern nuclear and particle physics as well as astrophysics. The use of microscopic nuclear structure models is essential, for a quantitative description of neutrino-nucleus reactions. The idea of establishing a low-energy beta-beam facility has been first proposed in [40] and discussed in nuclear structure studies, core-collapse supernova physics, and the study of fundamental interactions [40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49]. We present the total neutrino-nucleus cross sections as well as the contribution of the various multipoles and discuss how their importance evolves, as a function of neutrino energy. We give the flux-averaged cross sections associated to the Fermi-Dirac distribution as well as to distributions based on terrestrial neutrino sources such as the low-energy beta-beams or to conventional sources (muon decay at rest)
