Deuterium target data for precision neutrino-nucleus cross sections

AS Meyer, M Betancourt, R Gran, RJ Hill - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
Amplitudes derived from scattering data on elementary targets are basic inputs to neutrino-
nucleus cross section predictions. A prominent example is the isovector axial nucleon form …

Nucleon axial structure from lattice QCD

GS Bali, L Barca, S Collins, M Gruber, M Löffler… - Journal of High Energy …, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We present a new analysis method that allows one to understand and model
excited state contributions in observables that are dominated by a pion pole. We apply this …

Up, down, and strange nucleon axial form factors from lattice QCD

J Green, N Hasan, S Meinel, M Engelhardt, S Krieg… - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
We report a calculation of the nucleon axial form factors GA q (Q 2) and GP q (Q 2) for all
three light quark flavors q∈{u, d, s} in the range 0≤ Q 2≲ 1.2 GeV 2 using lattice QCD. This …

Cosmic-ray boosted dark matter confronted by constraints on new light mediators

NF Bell, JL Newstead, IS Ali - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The detectability of light dark matter in direct detection experiments is limited by the small
kinetic energy of the recoiling targets. Thus, scenarios where dark matter is boosted to …

Relativistic model of 2p-2h meson exchange currents in (anti) neutrino scattering

IR Simo, JE Amaro, MB Barbaro… - Journal of Physics G …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We develop a model of relativistic, charged meson-exchange currents (MEC) for neutrino–
nucleus interactions. The two-body current is the sum of seagull, pion-in-flight, pion-pole and …

An accurate evaluation of electron (anti-) neutrino scattering on nucleons

G Ricciardi, N Vignaroli, F Vissani - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We discuss as accurately as possible the cross section of quasi-elastic scattering of
electron (anti-) neutrinos on nucleons, also known as inverse beta decay in the case of …

We report a lattice QCD determination of the π γ→ π π transition amplitude for the P-wave, I=
1 two-pion final state, as a function of the photon virtuality and π π invariant mass. The …

Bounds on cosmic ray-boosted dark matter in simplified models and its corresponding neutrino-floor

JB Dent, B Dutta, JL Newstead, IM Shoemaker - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We study direct detection bounds on cosmic ray-upscattered dark matter in simplified
models including light mediators. We find that the energy dependence in the scattering cross …
