Progress in particle and nuclear physics 124, 103947 - (2022). doi:10.1016/j.ppnp.2022.103947, This review demonstrates the unique role of the neutrino by discussing in detail the physics of and with neutrinos. We deal with neutrino sources, neutrino oscillations, absolute masses, interactions, the possible existence of sterile neutrinos, and theoretical implications. In addition, synergies of neutrino physics with other research fields are found, and requirements to continue successful neutrino physics in the future, in terms of technological developments and adequate infrastructures, are stressed., Published by Pergamon Press, Frankfurt, M.

We discuss calculation of nuclear corrections to the structure functions for the deep-inelastic scattering of muon and (anti)neutrino. Our approach includes a QCD description of the nucleon structure functions as well as the treatment of Fermi motion and nuclear binding, off-shell correction to bound nucleon structure functions, nuclear pion excess and nuclear shadowing. We emphasize the dependence of nuclear effects on the type and C-parity of (anti)neutrino structure functions. We also examine the interplay between different nuclear effects in the Adler and the Gross-Llewellyn-Smith sum rules for nuclei., 8 pages, 2 figures, to appear in the proceedings of 5th International Workshop on Neutrino-Nucleus Interactions in the Few-GeV Region (NuInt07), Batavia, Illinois, 30 May - 3 Jun 2007

For any inelastic process $v_{\ell} + I \to \ell^- + F$ with $m_{\ell} = 0$, the cross section at $\theta_{\ell} = 0$ is given by Adler's PCAC theorem. Inclusion of the lepton mass has a dynamical effect (``PCAC-screening'') caused by interference of spin-zero ($\pi^+$) and spin-one exchanges. This effect may be relevant to the forward suppression reported in recent experiments., Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures, presented at NuInt07, Fermilab, may 31 - june 3 2007

We investigate the extension of the deeply virtual Compton scattering process into the weak interaction sector., Comment: Talk given at the Fifth International Workshop on Neutrino-Nucleus Interactions in the Few-GeV Region, FNAL, May 30 - June 3, 2007. To appear in the conference proceedings

We present a systematic study of the sensitivity of quasielastic neutrino‐nucleus cross sections at intermediate energies to the strange quark sea of the nucleon. To this end, we investigate the impact of the weak strangeness form factors on the ratio of proton‐to neutron knockout, the ratio of neutral‐to‐charged current cross sections, on the Paschos‐Wolfenstein relation, and on the longitudinal helicity asymmetry.

Recent progress in neutrino scattering experiments with few GeV neutrino beams is reviewed, focusing on new experimental input since the beginning of the NuInt workshop series in 2001. Progress in neutrino quasi-elastic scattering, resonance production, coherent pion production, scattering in the transition region between the resonance and deep inelastic regimes, and nuclear effects in neutrino-nucleus scattering, is discussed., Comment: To appear in the proceedings of 5th International Workshop on Neutrino-Nucleus Interactions in the Few-GeV Region (NuInt07), Batavia, Illinois, 30 May - 3 Jun 2007.

The K2K experiment uses an artificially‐produced neutrino beam to measure muon neutrino oscillations in the range of apporoximately 1 GeV. The neutrinos are detected in a near detector system (at the KEK laboratory) and in a far detector (Super‐Kamiokande). The detectors capabilities allow the measurement of the neutrino interaction rates and their energy, from which a clear indication of oscillations is obtained.

Results from a dynamical model of nucleon resonance production in the electroweak reactions are reviewed.

Uncertainties in knowledge of neutrino interactions directly impact the ability to measure the parameters of neutrino oscillation. Experiments which make use of differing technologies and neutrino beams are sensitive to different uncertainties. Several experimental and theoretical issues are reviewed., Comment: Proceedings prepared for the Fifth International Workshop on Neutrino-Nucleus Interactions in the Few-GeV Region (NuInt07), May 30-June 2, 2007.

On the basis of the phenomenological model for baryon resonance production in lepton–nucleon and lepton–nucleus scattering we investigate to what extent quark–hadron duality is applicable to the neutrino structure functions and how it compares with duality in electron scattering.

SciBooNE is an experiment for measurements of neutrino‐nucleus interaction cross‐sections using the FNAL Booster Neutrino Beam. SciBar, which is a fully‐active, finely segmented tracking detector, is one of the detectors in SciBooNE, inherited from the K2K experiment. The SciBar detector can identify neutrino interactions by detecting charged particles. Details of the SciBar detector are discussed.

In this paper we describe the capabilities of the MINERνA experiment for the measurement of neutrino‐nucleus coherent scattering.

The SciBar Booster Neutrino Experiment [1] (SciBooNE) is a neutrino scattering experiment located at Fermilab that started to take data in June 2007. The experiment takes advantage of the excellent and well understood SciBar detector from K2K and of the Booster Neutrino Beam from Fermilab. The main SciBooNE goal is to measure the total neutrino and antineutrino cross‐sections at low energies with unprecedented statistics. These measurements will help to improve the results of T2K and MiniBooNE neutrino oscillation experiments.

The effects of adding new data sets for neutrino and antineutrino deep inelastic scattering and dimuon production in pp and pd scattering to global fits for parton distribution functions are presented. Particular emphasis is placed on the effects at large x. The role of nuclear corrections in describing the neutrino and antineutrino data is also discussed.
