Neutrino-proton and anti-neutrino-proton elastic scattering
An experiment performed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Alternating Gradient Synchrotron observed the elastic scattering of neutrinos and anti-neutrinos from a nuclear target. The neutral current anti-neutrino to neutral current neutrino ratio is: sigma(anti ..nu..p ..-->.. anti ..nu..p)/sigma(..nu..p ..-->.. ..nu..p) = 0.45 +- 0.18 for 0.33 less than or equal to Q/sup 2/ less than or equal to 1.0 (GeV/c)/sup 2/, where Q/sup 2/ is the square of the momentum transfer to the nucleon. The neutrino neutral current to charged current ratio is: sigma(..nu..p ..-->.. ..nu..p)/sigma(..nu..n ..-->.. ..mu../sup -/p) = 0.13 +- 0.04 for 0.25 less than or equal to Q/sup 2/ less than or equal to 1.0 (GeV/c)/sup 2/. The ratios are consistent with a value of the Weinberg angle of sin/sup 2/theta/sub w/ = 0.26 +- 0.08.
