Inelastic neutrino-nucleus reaction cross sections at low and intermediate neutrino energies are studied. The required many-body nuclear wave-functions are calculated by utilizing a version of the quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA) that uses realistic two-body forces. The results presented here refer to the differential, integrated and total cross sections of the neutral-current induced reaction of {nu}{sub e} with the {sup 98}Mo and {sup 40}Ar nuclei. These isotopes are considered as promising astrophysical neutrino detection targets in recent neutrino physics research.
