Abstract
Charged current reactions of v(e) on C-12 have been studied using a mu (+) decay-at-rest v(e) beam from the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility . More than 500 events from the exclusive reaction C-12(v(e),e(-))N-12 (g.s.) were measured in a large Liquid Scintillator Neutrinro Detector (LSND). The observed energy dependence of the cross section and the a ngular distribution of the outgoing electron agree well with theoretic al expectations. Measurements are also presented for inclusive transit ions to N-12 excited states, C-12(v(e),e(-))N-12 and compared with th eoretical expectations. Results are consistent with a recent continuum random phase approximation (CRPA) calculation.
