Neutrino - Proton and Anti-Neutrino - Proton Elastic Scattering

177 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1981.In an experiment performed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Alternating Gradient Synchrotron we have observed the elastic scattering of neutrinos and anti-neutrinos from a nuclear target. The neutral current anti-neutrino to neutral current neutrino ratio is(DIAGRAM, TABLE OR GRAPHIC OMITTED...PLEASE SEE DAI)for 0.33 (LESSTHEQ) Q('2) (LESSTHEQ) 1.0 (GeV/c)('2), where Q('2) is the square of the momentum transfer to the nucleon. The neutrino neutral current to charged current ratio is(DIAGRAM, TABLE OR GRAPHIC OMITTED...PLEASE SEE DAI)for 0.25 (LESSTHEQ) Q('2) (LESSTHEQ) 1.0 (GeV/c)('2). The ratios are consistent with a value of the Weinberg angle ofsin('2)(theta)(,w) = 0.26 (+OR-) 0.08U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD
