Title: Asymmetric relativistic Fermi gas model for quasielastic lepton-nucleus scattering

Abstract

In this paper, we develop an asymmetric relativistic Fermi gas model for the study of the electroweak nuclear response in the quasielastic region. The model takes into account the differences between neutron and proton densities in asymmetric (N > Z) nuclei, as well as differences in the neutron and proton separation energies. We present numerical results for both neutral and charged-current processes, focusing on nuclei of interest for ongoing and future neutrino oscillation experiments. Finally, we point out some important differences with respect to the commonly employed symmetric Fermi gas model.
