The superscaling analysis is extended to include quasielastic (QE) scattering via the weak neutral current (NC) of neutrinos and antineutrinos from nuclei. The scaling function obtained within the coherent density fluctuation model (CDFM) [used previously in calculations of QE inclusive electron and charge-changing (CC) neutrino scattering] is applied to neutral current neutrino and antineutrino scattering with energies of 1 GeV from {sup 12}C with a proton and neutron knockout (u-channel inclusive processes). The results are compared with those obtained using the scaling function from the relativistic Fermi gas model and the scaling function as determined from the superscaling analysis (SuSA) of QE electron scattering.
