Model-independent analysis of the neutral-current interaction in the inclusive neutrino reactions

Abstract

On the basis of some general assumptions on the deep inelastic structure functions, such as scaling and chiral symmetry we determine the values of {(HV3)2+(HA3)2}+η{(HV0)2+(HA0)2} and HV3 HA3+ηHV0 HA0 where HV3,0 and HA3,0 are the four coupling constants characterizing the hadronic neutral current and η is the ratio of the isoscalar to isovector structure functions. General expressions are given for the kinematical averages 〈v〉 and 〈Q2〉 for the neutral-current reactions in terms of the coupling constants. This analysis does not depend on the validity of the quark-parton model. © 1974 the Indian Academy of Sciences.
