摘要
Neutrino cross sections are an essential ingredient in all neutrino experiments. Interest in neutrino scattering has recently increased due to the need for such information in the interpretation of neutrino oscillation data. Historically, neutrino scattering results on both charged current (CC) and neutral current (NC) channels have been collected over many decades using a variety of targets, analysis techniques, and detector technologies. With the advent of intense neutrino sources constructed for neutrino oscillation investigations, experiments are now remeasuring these cross sections with a renewed appreciation for nuclear effects^T and the importance of improved neutrino flux estimations. This work summarizes accelerator-based neutrino cross section measurements performed in the ~ 0.1 -300 GeV range with an emphasis on inclusive, quasi-elastic, and pion production processes, areas where we have the most experimental input at present (Table 50.1 and Table 50.2). For a more comprehensive discussion of neutrino cross sections, including neutrino-electron elastic scattering and lower energy neutrino measurements, the reoxter is directed to a recent review of this subject [1]. Here, we survey existing experimental data on neutrino interactions and do not attempt to provide a census of the associated theoretical calculations, which are both important and plentiful.
