CHARGED CURRENT NEUTRINO-NUCLEUS REACTION CROSS-SECTIONS AT INTERMEDIATE ENERGIES

Inclusive and semi-inclusive neutrino-nucleus reaction cross sections at intermediate energies (20 MeV less than or equal to E(v) less than or equal to 500 MeV) are calculated throughout the Periodic Table for the most interesting nuclei from an experimental point of view. The me thod used had previously proved to be very accurate in calculating the inclusive reaction cross section for light nuclei (C-12 and O-16) and in the study of other similar processes and has been further improved to deal with low energy neutrinos. The electron neutrino (v(e)) and m uon neutrino (v(mu)) cross sections weighted by their energy distribut ions are also calculated and discussed in conjunction with the existin g experimental results at LAMPF and the KARMEN Collaboration.
