@article{Pandey2014QuasielasticCT, title={Quasielastic contribution to antineutrino-nucleus scattering}, author={V. Pandey and N. Jachowicz and Jan Ryckebusch and Tom Van Cuyck and Wim Cosyn}, journal={Physical Review C}, year={2014}, volume={89}, pages={024601} }
We report on a calculation of cross sections for charged-current quasielastic antineutrino scattering off 12C in the energy range of interest for the MiniBooNE experiment. We adopt the impulse approximation (IA) and use the nonrelativistic continuum random phase approximation (CRPA) to model the nuclear dynamics. An effective nucleon-nucleon interaction of the Skyrme type is used. We compare our results with the recent MiniBooNE antineutrino cross-section data and confront them with alternate…
