Electron scattering and its connections to neutrino-nucleus interactions

In neutrino scattering off nucleus, the uncertainties of the cross section come from the parameterization of the axial form factor and from nuclear effects. The approach currently applied in neutrino physics is to extract information about the elementary cross section (i.e. axial form factor) from scattering off nuclei. To make it possible, we have to describe nuclear effects in the most...

An empirical fit has been made to inclusive electron scattering data on nuclei in the kinematic region $0<W<4$ GeV and $0<Q^2<10$ GeV$^2$. Several new high-precision data sets from Jefferson Lab were used to augment the existing world data set. Data on the deuteron and proton were used to obtain a fit to a free neutron target. Simple Fermi-smearing, Coulomb corrections, and a parametrization...

It is suggested that the impact of nuclear dynamics on electron scattering cross sections can be extracted from the data and used to predict neutrino cross sections using the susperscaling properties of (e,e') data. The merits and limits of this approach will be illustrated and discussed.
