Neutrino scattering off the stable cadmium isotopes: neutral-current processes

In this work we present computed cross sections for the incoherent neutral-current neutrino scattering off the stable cadmium isotopes. The main focus is on supernova neutrinos. The nuclear states of the even-mass and odd-mass cadmium isotopes have been constructed using the quasiparticle random-pha...

Description
Summary:In this work we present computed cross sections for the incoherent neutral-current neutrino scattering off the stable cadmium isotopes. The main focus is on supernova neutrinos. The nuclear states of the even-mass and odd-mass cadmium isotopes have been constructed using the quasiparticle random-phase approximation and the microscopic quasiparticle-phonon model, respectively. The computed cross sections are folded with suitably parametrized Fermi-Dirac distributions of the supernova (anti)neutrinos energies to obtain realistic estimates of the nuclear responses to these neutrinos.
