Deep-inelastic neutrino scattering: A double spectral form viewpoint
The scattering of neutrinos on polarized nucleons, viewed as forward virtual WN scattering, is discussed in a model-independent way based upon the use of a double spectral representation for the invariant amplitudes. In this framework, many of the scaling results of deep-inelastic $nu$N scattering emerge naturally: for example, the linear neutrino energy dependence of the double differential cross section and, for unpolarized, average nucleon targets, its y dependence; the scaling behavior of the various structure functions; and the vanishing of the longitudinal cross section in the scaling limit. This approach is seen to be useful in organizing disparate data from the different scattering regimes. Of particular interest is the derivation of new sum rules for the scaling functions and for various WN total cross sections. (AIP)
