Associated hyperon-kaon production via neutrino-nucleus scattering

Understand

We present the investigation of the neutrino-induced strangeness associated production on nuclei in the relativistic plane wave impulse approximation (RPWIA) framework at the intermediate neutrino energies.

• In this study, the elementary hadronic weak amplitudes are embedded inside the nuclear medium for the description of the exclusive channels of neutrino-nucleus interactions.
• These amplitudes are extracted using a model-dependent evaluation of the hadronic vertex using the Born term approximation in which the application of the Cabibbo V-A theory and SU(3) symmetry are assumed to be valid.
• The nuclear effects are included via the bound state wavefunctions of the nucleon obtained from the relativistic mean field (RMF) models.
