In this work we perform calculations of the cross sections for neutral-current neutrino scattering off the 95,97Mo isotopes. Both the incoherent and coherent con- tributions to the cross sections are considered. The wave functions of the initial and final nuclear states are constructed in the context of the quasiparticle phonon model (MQPM). The response of the aformentioned nuclei to supernova neutrinos are computed by folding the obtained cross sections with a two-parameter Fermi-Dirac distribution.

The total cross sections as well as the neutrino event rates are calculated in the charged current neutrino and antineutrino scattering off132Xe isotope at neutrino energiesEv<100 MeV. Transitions to excited nuclear states are calculated in the framework of quasiparticle random-phase approximation. The contributions from different multipoles are shown for various neutrino energies. Flux-averaged cross sections are obtained by convolving the cross sections with a two-parameter Fermi-Dirac distribution. The flux-averaged cross sections are also calculated using terrestrial neutrino sources based on conventional sources (muon decay at rest) or on low-energy beta-beams.

The total cross sections as well as the neutrino event rates are calculated in the neutral current neutrino scattering off40Ar and132Xe isotopes at neutrino energies (Ev<100 MeV). The individual contribution coming from coherent and incoherent channels is taking into account. An enhancement of the neutral current component is achieved via the coherent (0gs+→0gs+) channel which is dominant with respect to incoherent (0gs+→Jf) one. The response of the above isotopes as a supernova neutrino detection has been considered, assuming a two parameter Fermi-Dirac distribution for the supernova neutrino energy spectra. The calculated total cross sections are tested on a gaseous spherical TPC detector dedicated for supernova neutrino detection.

Neutrinos from supernovae constitute important probes of both the currently unknown supernova mechanisms and of neutrino properties. Reliable information about the nuclear responses to supernova neutrinos is therefore crucial. In this work, we compute the cross sections for the charged-current neutrino-nucleus scattering off the even-even molybdenum isotopes. The nuclear responses to supernova neutrinos are subsequently calculated by folding the cross sections with a Fermi-Dirac distribution.

Scattering processes of atoms, molecules and ions with two crossing electronic potentials may be treated in the Stueckelberg-Landau-Zener-(SLZ) model. In this paper the WKB-solutions for the radial wave functions, given by Stueckelberg are used to calculate differential cross sections. The effects on the cross sections are explained in a semiclassical picture, following the procedures of Ford and Wheeler, and Berry. In the scattering of H+ by rare gases, some effects in the elastic cross sections are observed which can be explained by the influence of the potential of the chargeexchanged particles, using the SLZ-model. The structure in the elastic cross sections for H2+-Kr can be explained as a rainbow structure with superimposed Stueckelberg oscillations.

We study the flavor changing neutral current couplings of new heavy quarks through theZ′models at the LHC. We calculate the cross sections for the signal and the corresponding standard model background processes. Considering the present limits on the mass of new heavy quarks and theZ′boson, we performed an analysis to investigate the parameter space (mixing and mass) through differentZ′models. For FCNC mixing parameterx=0.1and theZ′massMZ′=2000 GeV and new heavy quark massmt′=700 GeV at the LHC withs=13 TeV, we find the cross section for single production of new heavy quarks associated with top quarks as5.8 fb,3.3 fb,1.5 fb, and1.2 fb within theZη′,Zψ′,ZLP′, andZχ′models, respectively. It is shown that the sensitivity would benefit from the flavor tagging.

Nonstandard neutrino-nucleon interaction is formulated and explored within the energy range of quasi-elastic scattering. In particular, the study focuses on the neutral-current elastic (anti)neutrino scattering off nucleons described by the exotic reactionsνα(ν¯α)+n→νβ(ν¯β)+nandνα(ν¯α)+p→νβ(ν¯β)+p, which provide corrections to the dominant Standard Model processes. In this context, it is shown that the required exotic nucleon form factors may have a significant impact on the relevant cross sections. Besides cross sections, the event rate is expected to be rather sensitive to the magnitude of the lepton-flavour violating parameters resulting in an excess of events. The overlap of nonstandard interactions and strange quark contributions, in the region of few GeV neutrino energies, is also examined. The formalism is applied for the case of the relevant neutrino-nucleon scattering experiments (LSND, MiniBooNE, etc.) and motivates the notion that such facilities have high potential to probe NSI.

Calculations of the angular distributions of the cross-sections and analyzing powers in the [Formula: see text] Al reaction have been made using microscopic form factors. A wide range of shapes of the microscopic form factors, simulating different degrees of configuration mixing in the nuclear wave functions, fail to provide angular distributions of the analyzing powers that agree with experiment for the 2.73 and 4.41 MeV, 5/2+ states.

A systematic investigation of neutrino-nucleus reaction rates at low and intermediate energies of the stable 94Mo isotope is performed. Differential and integrated cross sections for neutrino inelastic scattering off the aforementioned target are calculated for neutrino energies εi ≼ 100 MeV. The nuclear wave functions for the initial and final nuclear states are constructed in the context of the quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA). The reliability of our method is tested by checking the reproducibility of the low-lying energy spectrum of the isotope under investigation.

The cross sections for neutrino scattering off the 116Cd nucleus have been computed by utilizing the Quasi-particle Random Phase Approximation (QRPA). An- gular and initial energy dependence of the neutrino-nucleus cross sections have been calculated at low and intermediate electron neutrino energies up to 100 MeV. By solving the QRPA equations and fixing the appropriate parameters the lowest lying excitation energies spectrum was reproduced. The contributions from multipole ex- citations was examined. The obtained results could be used for studying the nuclear response of this isotope to supernova neutrino spectra.
