We calculate the neutrino and antineutrino elastic scattering cross section on unpolarized deuterons at energies from a few MeV to several GeV and squared momentum transfers up to 5 GeV{sup 2}. These cross sections can be used to deduce the unknown weak SU(2) isoscalar and SU(3) flavor-scalar axial-vector coupling to nucleons. This observable can be related to the strangeness axial-vector matrix element in the absence of QCD radiative or isospin-violating corrections. We show that the unknown weak magnetic vector coupling may also be gleaned from these measurements. We use different techniques at different energies, including light-cone impulse approximation at the highest energies, and show that they connect smoothly to each other.
