Consistency of neutrino DIS and the present parton distribution functions
Hannu Paukkunen, Carlos A. Salgado
TL;DR
This paper investigates the nuclear effects in neutrino deep inelastic scattering and finds that these effects are consistent with those observed in charged lepton DIS, supporting the use of neutrino data in global PDF fits.
Contribution
It provides evidence that nuclear modifications in neutrino DIS are compatible with those in charged lepton DIS, validating the inclusion of neutrino data in PDF analyses.
Findings
Nuclear effects in neutrino DIS agree with charged lepton DIS.
Supports the consistency of using neutrino data in global PDF fits.
Findings are based on comparison of experimental cross-sections with PDF predictions.
Abstract
We study the nuclear effects in the neutrino\anti-neutrino-nucleon deep inelastic scattering (DIS) by comparing the NuTeV, CDHSW, and CHORUS cross-sections from Iron and Lead targets to the predictions derived from the latest parton distribution functions (PDFs). The nuclear modifications found seem to display agreement with those in charged lepton DIS. Our study thus lends support to the consistency of employing neutrino data in global fits of PDFs.
