Description
We study inelastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. Primarily we target $^{40}Ar, ^{133}Cs$, and $^{127}I$ nuclei. Nuclear shell model provides clear understanding of nuclei. In practice we use Bigstick, which is based on nuclear shell model, to generate the numerical results of the nuclear structure. We also include spin-independent and spin-dependent neutrino-nucleus currents based on chiral effective field theory (EFT) in our calculation. Hence the scattering amplitude then can be expressed as the linear combination of the nuclear response functions given by chiral EFT. In the study there are two scattering processes we have considered, charged lepton-nucleus (${\nu} + N \rightarrow {l^-} + N^*$) and neutrino-nucleus ($\nu + N \rightarrow {\nu} + N^*$). We predict the number of photon production cross-sections from the inelastic scattering. We also calculate the light dark matter-nucleus inelastic scattering cross-section and the event rate.
