Abstract

Radiative corrections to the electron recoil-energy spectra and to total cross sections are computed for neutrino-electron scattering by solid neutrinos. Radiative corrections change monotonically the electron recoil spectrum for incident {sup 8}B neutrinos, with the relative probability of observing recoil electrons being reduced by about 4% at the highest electron energies. For {ital p}-{ital p} and {sup 7}Be neutrinos, the recoil spectra are not affected significantly. Total cross sections for solar neutrino-electron scattering are reduced by about 2% compared to previously computed values. We also calculate the recoil spectra from {sup 13}N and {sup 15}O neutrinos including radiative corrections.

Ultrahigh energy neutrino-nucleon cross section and radiative corrections

Journal Article Sigl, G - Physical Review, D

Several proposals exist to detect cosmic neutrinos of energy from tens of GeV up to the highest energies observed for cosmic rays, {approximately}10{sup 20}eV, or possibly even beyond. Detection efficiencies depend crucially on the neutrino-nucleon cross section at these energies at which radiative corrections beyond the lowest order approximation could become non-negligible. The differential cross sections can be modified by more than 50{percent} in some regions of phase space. Estimates of corrections to the quantities most relevant for neutrino detection at these energies give, however, less dramatic effects: The average inelasticity in the outgoing lepton is increased from {approx_equal}0.19 tomore »« less

Radiative corrections to the neutrino counting experiment

Conference Mana, C; Martinez, M; Miquel, R - AIP Conference Proceedings (American Institute of Physics); (USA)

Radiative corrections to radiative neutrino production and to radiative Bhabha scattering are discussed. Concerning the first process, one loop corrections are briefly reviewed. After emphasizing the importance of higher order QED corrections, their implementation using the Structure Functions approach is described. Next, the inclusion of the main weak corrections using the star' scheme is explained. Finally some results are presented, showing effects in the range 5--6% with respect to the pure one loop corrected cross-section. Also some comparisons with another calculation featuring multiphoton generation are shown, and good agreement is found between them, both for the total cross-section and themore »« less
QED radiative corrections for accelerator neutrinos

Journal Article Tomalak, Oleksandr; Chen, Qing; Hill, Richard; ... - Nature Communications

Neutrino oscillation experiments at accelerator energies aim to establish charge-parity violation in the neutrino sector by measuring the energy-dependent rate of νe appearance and ν_μ disappearance in a ν_μ beam. These experiments can precisely measure ν_μ cross sections at near detectors, but ν_e cross sections are poorly constrained and require theoretical inputs. In particular, quantum electrodynamics radiative corrections are different for electrons and muons. These corrections are proportional to the small quantum electrodynamics coupling α ≈ 1/137; however, the large separation of scales between the neutrino energy and the proton mass (~GeV), and the electron mass and soft-photon detection thresholdsmore »« less

Radiative corrections to inverse muon decay for accelerator neutrinos

Journal Article Tomalak, Oleksandr; Borah, Kaushik; Hill, Richard; ... - Physical Review. D.

Inverse muon decay (ν_μe^–→ν_eμ^–) is a promising tool to constrain neutrino fluxes with energies E_ν≥10.9 GeV. Radiative corrections introduce percent-level distortions to energy spectra of outgoing muons and depend on experimental details. In this paper, we calculate radiative corrections to the scattering processes ν_μe^–→ν_eμ^– and $$\overline{v}$$_ee^–→$$\overline{v}$$_μμ^–. We present the muon energy spectrum for both channels, double-differential distributions in muon energy and muon scattering angle and in photon energy and photon scattering angle, and the photon energy spectrum for the dominant ν_μe^–→ν_eμ^– process. Our results clarify and extend the region of applicability of previous results in the literature for the doublemore »« less

Flavor-dependent radiative corrections in coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering

Journal Article Tomalak, Oleksandr; Machado, Pedro; Pandey, Vishvas; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We calculate coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering cross sections on spin-0 nuclei (e.g. ⁴⁰Ar and ²⁸Si) at energies below 100 MeV within the Standard Model and account for all effects of permille size. We provide a complete error budget including uncertainties at nuclear, nucleon, hadronic, and quark levels separately as well as perturbative error. Our calculation starts from the four-fermion effective field theory to explicitly separate heavy-particle mediated corrections (which are absorbed by Wilson coefficients) from light-particle contributions. Electrons and muons running in loops introduce a non- trivial dependence on the momentum transfer due to their relatively light masses. These samemore »« less
