Abstract

Inelastic neutrino‐nucleus reaction cross sections are studied focusing on the neutral current processes. Particularly, we investigate the angular and initial neutrino‐energy dependence of the differential and integrated cross sections for low and intermediate energies of the incoming neutrino. The nuclear wave functions for the initial and final nuclear states are constructed in the context of the quasi‐particle random phase approximation (QRPA) tested on the reproducibility of the low‐lying energy spectrum. The results presented here refer to the isotopes Mo92, Mo94, Mo96, Mo98 and Mo100. These isotopes could play a significant role in supernova neutrino detection in addition to their use in double‐beta and neutrinoless double‐beta decay experiments (e.g. MOON, NEMO III).
