Abstract : Quasielastic neutrino and antineutrino reactions in nuclei are studied to investigate the effectof the nuclear medium on the determination of axial dipole mass M, in nuclei . The calculationsare done in the local density approximation and var;ous nuclear effects like Pauli blocking, Ftrmimotion of nucleons and strong renormalization effects in the spin-isospin channel are taken intoaccount. The nuclear effects are found to be quite large at low q', but the data in this region aretoo meagre to influence the determination of M, . The experimental data on differential and totalcross sections are found to be consistent with MA as determined from deuterium experimcats andno conclusive evidence for quenching of MA in nuclei is found. On the other hand, the latestneutrino experiment by SKAT collaboration is found to be inconsistent with our theoretical resultsas well as with other neutrino experiments.

The axial-vector form factor FA(q2) of the nucleon is parametrized in a dipoleform, ie .,

FA(q2) =FA(O)/(l - q2/M2)2,A

where MA is the dipole mass and FA(O) is the axial charge . FA(O) has been determinedfrom the A-decay experiments of the neutron) and the dipole mass MA has beendetermined either from the threshold electropion-production experiments z'3) orfrom the quasielastic neutrino and antineutrino reaciioiis . The neuirino and iindne-utrino reactions are done in hydrogen, deuterium or heavy nuclei . While the experi-ments with hydrogen and deuterium targets are preferred due to the simplicity intheir analysis 4-11) the experiments in heavy nuclei were the first ones to be performedand are still being done 12-24) . The analysis of neutrino and antinuetrino reactionsin nuclei, to determine the dipole mass MA involves some additional model depen-dence due to the nuclear structure . Nevertheless these experiments provide anopportunity to study the axial vector form factor of the nucleon inside the nuclearmedium . In recent years the study of nucleon properties and their modifications inthe nuclear medium has attracted much attention as it is intimately related with the

vacuum in the nuclear environment . This QCD vacuum in the nucleus mightrent from its bee-space value and thus change the nucleon properties in the

nuclear medium 25) . These changes are expected to be in addition to the changesinduced by the nuclear correlations, many-body elects etc., which have beencalculated in a fairly reliable way for various quantities . For example, the quenchingof Q and the magnetic moment jA of the nucleon inside nuclei due to nuclearany-body effects are well known 26-29) . The experimental data on moon capture

rates for various nuclei are explained very well when the quenching of weakinteraction coupling constants fA , Fm , etc ., are taken into account in a reasonablemodel Such an analysis has not been done for the neutrino nucleus reactionsand the effect of quenching has not been taken into account in the determinationf the dipole mass 114A -

revise value Of MA is very desirable as it plays an important role in the analysisof neutral current reaction of y and Pp scattering to determine the isoscalar formfactors

Such an analysis has given rise to a strangeness component As of theproton spin in agreement with the EMC experiment . However this value of As isvery sensitive to MAas a 5% change inMA would imply As ::=0 [ref. 32)] . Also, a10-151,16 reduction in the value of MA determined from the nuclear experimentsafter nuclear many-body effects have been taken into account in the analysis, wouldlend support to the recent suggestion or the scaling of effective chiral lagrangians,in a nuclear medium "') .

recently available values of A4A as determined from the nuclear experiments areconsistently smaller than the values quoted from the deuterium experiments whencentral values of MA are compared. However, the quoted error bars are such thatthe two values can be interpreted to be in agreement with each other. The existinganal~ , ses of nuclear experiments use a simple Fermi-gas model and free-nucleonvalues of the weak-interaction coupling constants without taking into account theeffect of the nuclear medium . The major uncertainty in the existing analyses of theseexperiments is attributed to the poor knowledge of the neutrino (antineutrino)spectrum and of the nuclear structure . In this paper we have studied neutrino andantineutrino reactions in a model where nuclear effects are taken into account in abetter way than the simple Fermi-gas model . The effect of renormalization due touclear medium is explicitly calculated . We apply the local ,density approximation(LDA) to calculate the inclusive neutrino (antinueutrino) cross sections in nuclei .The effect of Pauli blocking and Fermi momentum is taken into account by calculat-ing the imaginary part of the Lindhard function using relativistic kinematics whichis appropriate for large momentum transfers . The effect of quenching of the weak-interaction coupling constants in the nuclear medium is taken into account bycalculating the ph and Ah excitations using -7r- and p-exchange potentials andcorrelated nuclear wave functions and summing the iteration of these excitationsto all orders . Such a model applied to moon capture, radiative pion capture andhypernuclear decay in nuclei has given satisfactory results

by this method nuclear erects are properly taken into account . These are found tobe quite large at small q2 where, unfortunately, there is very little data . At high q'a comparison ofthe experimental data, on differential cross sections with our presentcalculations, does not provide a compelling evidence for a reduced A . The totalcross-section data however can support a reduced MA but the error bars are toolarge to draw definite conclusions . We, however, find that a recent neutrino experi-ment 24) is inconsistent with our results as it does not see any nuclear effects evenat very low q`, where theoretically large effects are expected. However, one shouldnote that this experiment is also in disagreement with other experiments .The plan of this paper is as follows. In sect. 2, we review the existing theoretical

and experimental results for MA from neutrino and antinueutrino reactions . In sect .3 we describe our calculations and in sect . 4 compare our results with the experi-mental data . In sect . 5, we conclude by summarising our findings and their implica-tions for future experiments .

In nuclei, the strength of electroweak couplings may change from their free-nucleon values due to the presence of strongly interacting nucleons . Though theexact conservation of vector current forbids any change in the charge coupling,other couplings like magnetic moment, axial charge and current and pseudoscalar

coupling of the nucleon may undergo changes . Due to the partially conserveaxial-current hypothesis (p.c.a.c .), the axial current is strongly coupled to the piofield in the nuclear medium and therefore axial couplings are more likely to changedue to pionic effects . To get an idea of these effects, if we look at the nonrelativisticlimit of eq. (2.2) we see the occurrence of FA r, F2 x ,r and Fp " qr terms inthe weak current which are linked to spin--isospin excitation . While F2 and Fp arecoupled to transverse and longitudinal channels, FA is coupled to both.

e couplingof these external probes to the mesonic effects can be depicted through the diagramshown in fig . 2, where the wavy line stands for the spin-isospin ph and Ah interactionand can be described by 7r, p exchanges modulated by the effect of nuclear shortrange correlations .

Generally this interaction V(q) can be represented by2

channel and Vt is the strength of the potential in the transverse channel .

erepresentation into longitudinal and transverse channel is useful when one tries tosum the geometric series in fig . 2 where the longitudinal and transverse channelsdecouple and can be summed independently 5 ' ) . The renormalization of the variousterms in eq . (A.1) in the appendix due to the Feynman diagrams shown in fig . 2can be calculated in a straightforward way. We demonstrate this for the term FA-

the local density approximation ib similar to the results of calculations done in theclosure approximation with harmonic oscillator potential 43,44 ) except for very lowg2. When the effects of strong renormalizations are included, the cross sections areconsiderably reduced specially at low q

2 and become similar to the results ofcalculation done in a simple Fermi-gas model. The q2 dependence of this suppressionis however quite different in the two models. Similar results are obtained forantineutrino scattering with the difference that the q2 dependence for (9'z ) isdifferent for P and P scattering in our calculations .

In the following we will present results for the differential cross section as afunction of q2 and the total cross section a(Ej as a function of neutrino energy inthe local density approximation with and without the strong renormalization effects .Along with these two results, we also present the results in the simple Fermi-gasmodel and compare all the theoretical results with the experimental data for theexperiments considered . In a separate set of curves, we also study the sensitivity ofthe da/dq2 and QE.) for various values ofI consistent with the MA determfinedfrom deuterium experiments for the dipole form factor. Finally we also presentresults for the VDM-QM parametrization for the axial-vector form factor withMAI= 1 .14 GeV, as determined from the deuterium experiments .

The differential cross section as calculated from eqs . (3.6) and (3.11) has beenfolded with the neutrino and antineutrino spectrum given by the authors of therespective experiments . We have taken the published neutrino (antineutrino) spec-trum as such and tried to see whether the differential cross sections as obtainedfrom the neutrino reactions in nuclei are consistent with the value of MA derivedfrom the deuterium experiments . For this purpose a world average of MA =

1 .05 + 0.03 GeV for the dipole parametrization and A, = 1 . 14 GeV for the VIAM-QM parametrization has been used .

In fig . 4a-c we show the results for do-/dg2 versus q 2 for the neutrino experimentsof Bonnetti et al. "'), Pohl et a/. ' 9 ) and SKAT collaboration 23,24 ) . The experimentsof Bonnetti et al. and SKAT collaboration are in freon which are dominated by ' 9 Fand "'Br while the experiments of Pohl et al. are in freon-propane which aredominated by '`C . As a result the nuclear effects are expected to be larger in thefreon case than in the freon-propane case . Moreovcr, the freon experiments ofSKAT collaboration have high energy neutrinos (antineutrinos) with 3.0<E,,<30.0 GeV as compared with to the lower neutrino (antineutrino) beams of Bonnettiet al. which have neutrino (antineutrino) energies in the range of 1 .0 < E, < 15 .0 GeV.The result for differential cross sections are therefore expected to be somewhatdifferent for individual experiments even though it is independent of energy athigher energies, i .e . ., E, >M. However, in all cases we see a large reduction due tonuclear effects such as Pauh blocking, Fermi motion, etc., at smaller q

et are surprisingly close to our present results with strong renormalization takeninto account . The strong suppression in the differential cross section due to nucleareffects seems to be quite we!l simulated by the simple Fermi-gas calculations, Animproved permi-gas calculation with local density approximation will overestimatethe differential cross section especially at lower q2 . In comparing these results withthe experimental results of Bonnetti et al and Pohl et al. we find a good agreementexcept at very low q2 , where the experiments show still stronger suppression .

to in the low-q -' region of nuclear sensitivity is not good enough to make aled comparison . The data at low q2 can support a smaller MA without disturbing

the agreement at higher q-, but as we show in fig . 5 the range allowed for MA bye deuteriurn experiments does give a fair description of the data when dipole form

factors am use& The description with the VDM-QM parametrization with the worldaverage of I'VIA , = 1 . 14 GeV gives slightly higher value of the da/dq2

, specially atsmaller q'. In fact the results of VDM-QM parametrization with MAI =1 .14 GeVare quite similar to the results of dipole parametrization with MA = 1 .08 GeV. Based

this data these is no compelling evidence to prefer one over the other.c, we see the complete absence of any nuclear effects in the most recent

ant of SKAT collaboration . These results are even larger than the free-cross section in the low-q 2 region, which is quite surprising . This is similar

to the old experimental results of Kustom et ral. '6) done in Fe who also failed tosee such a suppression as present in other experiments and predicted by calculations .We believe that present SKAT collaboration 23,24) results, like the old Argonneresults are inconsistent with present understanding of these processes.

Similarly in figs . 6 and 7 we show the do,/dq2 versus q2 for antineutrino scatteringexperiments of onnetti et al. 'g), Armenise et rat '9) and S T collaboration 23,24) .

Again we see a large suppression due to the nuclear effects at lower q2, whichbecomes negligible for q2 > -0.3 GeV/ c2 . In this case also the strong renormalizationeffects due to ph and ®h correlations are quite large in the region where othernuclear effects are important . However, the q2 dependence of the reduction in thecase of antineutrino scattering is different as compared to the q2 dependence of thereduction in the neutrino scattering. This is expected because the interference termFA(g2)(F,(g2)+ F2(q2 )) enters with the opposite sign in the case of antineutrinoscattering as compared with the case of neutrino scattering. This offers an interesting

possibility of ftudying strong renormalization effects on the axial vector form factor,if the sum and/or difference of neutrino and antineutrino cross sections can beanalyzed, specially at lower energies . With the modification of Fm(g2) in the medium

determined from quasielastic electron scattering through the assumption of c.v.c .,

the quenching of FA(g 2 ) as a function of q2 can be determined . Experimentallysuch an analysis seems to be difficult and has not been done.

comparision with the results in the simple Fermi-gas model shows that ourresults with the Tenormalization effect included are slightly higher than the Fermias model at very low q , , due to the reduced strong renormalization . A comparision

with the experimental result of Bonnetti et el., Armenise et al and SKAT collabor-ation shows a fair agreement with our results except at lower q`', where there is,again, a stronger suppression in the experimental results. The situation is quite

tsimilar to the neutrino case, where the low-q 2 data can support a smaller MA(MA <1 .05 CueV) without disturbing the good agreement at higher q 2 , but more data isneeded in the low-q' region to make a definite statement .

effects of Fermi motion inside the nucleus. The inclusion of Fermi motion increasesthe range of q2 considerably beyond the range allowed by the free-nucleon kinematicsused in the simple Fermi gas or the closure approximation. The contribution to thetotal cross section from the increased range of q2 is however small and does notexceed 3-4% . In the following, we have integrated over the whole range of q 2 andpresented our results in figs . 8-11 .

In figs . 8 and 9 we show the total cross section for the neutrino-nucleus crosssection for the experiments of Bonnetti et A and SKAT collaboration for freon andthe experiments of Pohl et al. for freon-propane mixture. In fig. 8, we show thesensivity to !he nuclear effects, while in hg. 9, we show the sensitivity to the valuesof MA in the range 112 < M,,_ < 1 .08. The large cross sections of the SKAT collabor-ation due to increased do-ldq2 at low q2 can be seen to lie higher than the predictedcross section and the expected behavior of the energy dependence. When comparedto the free-nucleon cross section, the nuclear cross sections per nucleon are reduced,

neutrino and antineutrino reactions, the uncertainties due to there are mainly at low q', where there is not enough data to effectively,etermination Or MA . The major uncertainty therefore is due to the

etermination a the neutrino flux . It is interesting to point out that the totalcross sections in the intermediate-energy region 0.5-1 .5 GeV are more sensitive tovariations in M.-N than those at high energy.

calculations have been done in the local density approximation for finite nuclei,and medium effects due to particle-hole and delta-hole excitations are taken intoaccount through the renormalization of various terms which depend upon thelongitudinal and transverse modes of excitation . The logitudinal and transverseexcitations are described by the pion and rho exchanges and the effect of shortrange correlations are taken into account through the Landau-Migdal parameter.Inclusion of these effects is expected to improve the results of earlier calculationsdone in simple Fermi-gas model with no medium polarization effects. The resultsare then applied to analyze the most recent experiments done in medium and heavynuclei using a world average value of MA =1 .05-+-0 .03GeV determined fromdeuterium experiments. In particular the analysis of the neutrino and antineutrinoscattering data in freon, and freon-propane mixture by Bonnetti et at ' K .), Arrnenispet al.

The enhancement seen in this experiment at lowest q 2 disagrees with other dataand theoretical calculations .

(iv) Simple Fermi-gas model calculations seem to stimulate the strong reno

aliz-ation effects by giving too much suppression as compared to an improved Fermi-Gasmodel calculation . This simulation seems to be even better for 0-(v) than d~/dq2

as the q2 dependence of the difference of our results with the renormalization effectand the simple Fermi-gas model result gives rise to a cancellation when integratedover the entire range of q

- .Strong renormalization effects due to particle-hole and delta-hole excitations are

different for neutrino and antineutrino reactions due to different combinations ofthe weak interaction coupling occurring in the neutrino and antineutrino crosssections . This fact can be used to analyze the q 2 dependence of the quenching ofFA(g2), if data on v and v scattering in nuclei at low energies are available .
