description

We discuss the nuclear-medium effects in the weak structure functions F2(x,Q2) and F3,(x,Q2) in the charged current neutrino and antineutrino induced deep inelastic reactions in some nuclei which are being used in the present or proposed neutrino oscillation experiments. Our study of the medium effects has been done using relativistic nuclear spectral functions which incorporates Fermi motion, binding energy and nucleon correlations. We also consider the pion and rho meson cloud contributions calculated from a microscopic model for meson-nucleus self-energies. Using these structure functions, the results for the differential cross section have been obtained and compared with some of the available experimental data.
