Deep inelastic (anti)neutrino-nucleus scattering

F. Zaidi is thankful to the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), India, for providing the research associate fellowship with award letter no. 09/112(0622)2K19 EMR-I. I. Ruiz Simo acknowledges support from Spanish Ministry of Science and ERDF under contract FIS2017-85053-C2-1P, and from Junta de Andalucia through Grant no. FQM-225.The present status of the field theoretical model studies of the deep inelastic scattering induced by (anti)neutrino on the nuclear targets in a wide range of Bjorken variable x and four momentum transfer square Q(2) has been reviewed (Haider et al. in Phys Rev C 84:054610, 2011, Phys Rev C 85:155201, 2012, Nucl Phys A 955:58, 2016; Zaidi et al. in Phys Rev D 99:093011, 2019, Phys Rev D 101:033001, 2020; Ansari et al. in Phys Rev D 102:113007, 2020). The effect of the nonperturbative corrections such as target mass corrections and dynamical higher twist effects, perturbative evolution of the parton densities, nuclear medium modifications in the nucleon structure functions, and nuclear isoscalarity corrections on the weak nuclear structure functions have been discussed. These structure functions have been used to obtain the differential scattering cross-sections. The various nuclear medium effects such as the Fermi motion, binding energy, nucleon correlations, mesonic contributions, shadowing and antishadowing corrections relevant in the different regions of x and Q(2) have been discussed. The numerical results for the structure functions and the cross-sections are compared with some of the available experimental data including the recent results from MINERvA. The predictions are made in argon nuclear target which is planned to be used as a target material in DUNE at the Fermilab.Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) - India 09/112(0622)2K19 EMR-ISpanish Government FIS2017-85053-C2-1PEuropean Commission FIS2017-85053-C2-1PJunta de Andalucia FQM-22
