Abstract

We present an exploratory QCD analysis of the neutrino structure functions in charged current DIS using the color dipole formalism. The dipole cross sections are taken from recent phenomenological/theoretical studies in deep inelastic inclusive production. The theoretical predictions are compared to the available experimental results in the small-x region, which has never been considered so far.

Highlights

  • The interaction of high energy neutrinos on hadron targets are an outstanding probe to test Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and understanding the parton properties of hadron structure

  • The neutrino structure functions are needed for computing the total neutrino-hadron cross section, which plays an important role in high energy cosmic rays studies and in astroparticle physics [1]

  • In this work we present a determination of the small-x structure functions for neutrino-nucleus within the color dipole formalism [5]

Summary

Introduction

The interaction of high energy neutrinos on hadron targets are an outstanding probe to test Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and understanding the parton properties of hadron structure. The differential cross section for the neutrino-nucleon charged current process νl (νl)+N → l− (l+)+X, in terms of the Lorentz invariant structure functions F2νN , 2xF1νN and xF3νN are [2], dσν,νdx dy mN xy 2Eν In this work we present a determination of the small-x structure functions for neutrino-nucleus within the color dipole formalism [5].
