Abstract
Estimates of the neutrino-nucleus cross section, for the charged-current process , are presented. The nuclear structure calculations were performed by considering bound, resonant, and continuum states in the single-particle basis used to construct correlated proton-particle neutron-hole configurations. The observed features of the spectrum of were reproduced, as accurately as possible, by diagonalizing a phenomenological multipole-multipole interaction. Calculations of the cross section, for values of MeV, were performed, and the dependence of the results on the choice of the residual proton-neutron interaction was investigated. It is found that the inclusion of resonant states in the calculation of the nuclear wave functions increases the neutrino-nucleus cross section and that the contribution of the continuum is negligible.
