Abstract
The charged-current quasielastic scattering of muon neutrino on a carbon target is calculated for neutrino energy up to 2.8 GeV using the relativistic distorted-wave impulse approximation with relativistic optical potential, which was earlier successfully applied to describe the electron-nucleus data. We studied both neutrino and electron processes and have shown that the reduced exclusive cross sections for neutrino and electron scattering are similar. The nuclear and axial vector mass effects on the shape of Q{sup 2} distribution have also been studied. The comparison of the (anti-)neutrino total cross sections per (proton)neutron, calculated for the carbon and oxygen targets, shows the cross sections for oxygen to be lower than those for carbon. A significant nuclear model dependence of inclusive and total cross sections for energy about 1 GeV was found.
