Theoretical estimates of supernova-neutrino cross sections for the stable even-even lead isotopes: Charged-current reactions
2016
A detailed study of the charged-current supernova electron neutrino and electron antineutrino scattering off the stable even-mass lead isotopes $A=204$, 206, and 208 is reported in this work. The proton-neutron quasiparticle random-phase approximation (pnQRPA) is adopted to construct the nuclear final and initial states. Three different Skyrme interactions are tested for their isospin and spin-isospin properties and then applied to produce (anti)neutrino-nucleus scattering cross sections for (anti)neutrino energies below 80 MeV. Realistic estimates of the nuclear responses to supernova (anti)neutrinos are computed by folding the computed cross sections with a two-parameter Fermi-Dirac distr…
Neutral- and charged-current supernova-neutrino scattering off116Cd
2013
The interest in studies of neutrino–nucleus interactions goes beyond the study of the intrinsic properties of the neutrino extending to a variety of topics in astro-, nuclear and hadronic physics. We report in this paper the results of the calculations of the cross sections of inelastic neutrino–nucleus scattering off 116Cd, focusing on the incoherent neutral-current and charged-current processes, at energies typical of supernova neutrinos. The required nuclear wave functions for the participant initial and final states are constructed using the quasiparticle random-phase approximation in its charge-conserving mode and charge-changing mode. The response of 116Cd to supernova neutrinos and a…
Charged-current neutrino and antineutrino scattering offCd116described by Skyrme forces
2014
We perform calculations of the cross sections for charged-current neutrino and antineutrino scattering off Cd-116 using ten different Skyrme interactions, at energies typical of supernova neutrinos. We use the quasiparticle random-phase approximation in its charged-changing mode (pnQRPA) to construct the required nuclear wave functions for the participant initial and final states. We compare the results of these calculations with the results of calculations based on the Bonn one-boson-exchange potential. The response of Cd-116 to supernova neutrinos is calculated by folding the obtained cross sections with suitably parametrized Fermi-Dirac distributions of the electron-neutrino and electron…
Neutrino scattering off the stable cadmium isotopes: neutral-current processes
2014
In this work we present computed cross sections for the incoherent neutral-current neutrino scattering off the stable cadmium isotopes. The main focus is on supernova neutrinos. The nuclear states of the even-mass and odd-mass cadmium isotopes have been constructed using the quasiparticle random-phase approximation and the microscopic quasiparticle-phonon model, respectively. The computed cross sections are folded with suitably parametrized Fermi–Dirac distributions of the supernova (anti)neutrinos energies to obtain realistic estimates of the nuclear responses to these neutrinos.
Neutral-current supernova-neutrino cross sections for Pb204,206,208 calculated by Skyrme quasiparticle random-phase approximation
2019
The present work constitutes a detailed study of neutral-current (NC) supernova-neutrino scattering off the stable even-even lead isotopes Pb204,206,208. This is a continuation of our previous work [Almosly et al., Phys. Rev. C. 94, 044614 (2016)10.1103/PhysRevC.94.044614] where we investigated charged-current processes on the same nuclei. As in the previous work, we have adopted the quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA) as the theory framework and use three different Skyrme interactions to build the involved nuclear wave functions. We test the Skyrme forces by computing the location of the lowest-order isovector spin-multipole giant resonances and comparing with earlier calculati…

Theoretical study of supernova neutrino and antineutrino scattering off the stable cadmium and lead isotopes
2017
In this thesis work, an extensive study of neutrino- and antineutrino-nucleus interactions is performed. The work is focused on supernova-neutrino scattering off the stable cadmium and lead isotopes. The studied nuclei are of interest for the investigations of neutrino-properties and for neutrino-detection experiments. The adopted nuclear-structure models are based on the quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA) and the microscopic quasiparticle- phonon model (MQPM) and the cross-sections calculations are based on the Donnelly-Walecka formalism. The computed cross sections are folded with a two-parameter Fermi-Dirac distribution to obtain realistic estimates of the nuclear responses …
