Neutrino Cross Sections and Scattering Physics

Large flux uncertainties and small cross sections have made neutrino scattering physics a challenge. However, a worthwhile challenge, as these tiny particle interactions can teach us a lot about neutrinos themselves, the weak interaction, and nucleon structure. As well, knowledge of these cross sections is crucial input to the growing field of neutrino oscillation physics. New, intense, well understood neutrino beams now available, are enhancing both oscillation and neutrino scattering physics measurements. The latest neutrino scattering results from NOMAD, K2K, and MiniBooNE, presented here, take advantage of these new neutrino sources. These results, as well as what to expect in the future, are discussed below.
