Identifying Neutrinos and Antineutrinos in Neutral-Current ScatteringReactions
Identifying Neutrinos and Antineutrinos in Neutral-Current ScatteringReactions
We study neutrino-induced nucleon knockout from nuclei. Expressions forthe induced polarization are derived within the framework of the independent-nucleonmodel and the nonrelativistic plane-wave approximation. Large dissimilaritiesin the nucleon polarization asymmetries are observed between neutrino- andantineutrino-induced processes. These asymmetries represent a potential wayto distinguish between neutrinos and antineutrinos in neutral-current neutrinoscattering …
