Quasielastic axial-vector mass from experiments on neutrino-nucleus scattering

Understand

We analyze available experimental data on the total and differential charged-current cross sections for quasielastic neutrino and antineutrino scattering off nucleons, measured with a variety of nuclear targets in the accelerator experiments at ANL, BNL, FNAL, CERN, and IHEP, dating from the end of sixties to the present day.

• The data are used to adjust the poorly known value of the axial-vector mass of the nucleon.
