Strange quark contributions to neutrino and antineutrino nucleus scattering via neutral current in quasi-elastic region
Strange quark contributions to the neutral current reaction in the neutrino scattering are investigated on the nucleon level and extended to the $^{12}$C target nucleus through the neutrino-induced knocked-out nucleon process in the quasi-elastic region within the framework of a relativistic single particle model. The incident energy range between 500 MeV and 1.0 GeV is used for the neutrino(antineutrino) scattering. Effects of the final state interaction for the knocked-out nucleon are included by a relativistic optical potential. We found that the sensitivity of the strange quark contents could be salient on the asymmetry between neutrino and antineutrino scattering cross sections. In specific, $A (\nu ({\bar \nu}), \nu^{'} ({\bar \nu}^{'}) N)$ reaction is shown to be very sensitive test in the searches of the strangeness.

Neutrino-nucleus reactions via neutral and charged currents by the quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA)
We developed the quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA) for neutrino reactions on even–even nuclei via neutral current (NC) and charged current (CC). The QRPA has been successfully applied for nuclear β and ββ decays. To describe neutrino–nucleus reactions, general multipole transitions by the weak interaction with finite momentum transfers are calculated for NC and CC reactions with detailed formulas. Since we consider neutron–proton (np) pairing as well as neutron–neutron (nn) and proton–proton (pp) pairing correlations, the nn + pp QRPA and the np QRPA are combined in a framework, which enables us to describe both NC and CC reactions in a consistent way. Numerical results for ν–12C, –56Fe and –56Ni reactions are shown to match with other theoretical calculations and well reproduce available experimental data.

Coulomb sum rule in the quasielastic region
Within a relativistic single particle model, we calculate the Coulomb sum rule of inclusive electron scattering from {sup 40}Ca and {sup 208}Pb in the quasielastic region. Theoretical longitudinal and transverse structure functions are extracted for three-momentum transfers from 300 to 500 MeV/c and compared with the experimental data measured at Bates and Saclay. We find that there is no drastic suppression of the longitudinal structure function and that the Coulomb sum rule depends on the nucleus in our theoretical model.

Signals for Strange Quark Contributions to the Neutrino (Antineutrino) Scattering in Quasi-Elastic Region
Strange quark contributions to elastic neutrino–nucleon scattering and neutrino–nucleus scattering for 12 C target in quasi-elastic region are investigated on the incident energy of 500 MeV within the framework of a relativistic single particle model. For the neutrino–nucleus scattering, the effects of final state interaction for the knocked-out nucleon are included by a relativistic optical potential. In the cross sections for neutrino–nucleus scattering we found some cancellations of the strange quark contributions in the knocked-out proton and neutron process. Consequently, the asymmetries between the incident neutrino and antineutrino, which are given by the ratio of neutral current to charged current, and a difference between the asymmetries are shown to be more feasible quantities for the strangeness effects. In order to explicitly display the importance of such cancellations, results of the exclusive reaction 16 O(ν, ν' p ) are additionally presented for detecting the strangeness effects.

Inclusive charged-current neutrino-nucleus scattering in the quasielastic region
We study inclusive charged-current reaction through total cross sections of neutrino-nucleus scattering within the framework of a relativistic single-particle model in the quasielastic region. To describe the final-state interaction between knocked-out nucleons and the residual nucleus, a real potential of final nucleons, which is generated by a relativistic mean field, is used with the assumption of no loss of flux, which leads to current conservation and gauge invariance. We calculate ({nu}{sub {mu},{mu}}{sup -}) and ({nu}-bar{sub {mu},{mu}}{sup +}) reactions. In these calculations, {sup 12}C, {sup 40}Ca, and {sup 208}Pb are used as target nuclei and the incident neutrino (antineutrino) energies are exploited up to 4 GeV. We find that the effect of the final-state interaction by the real potential of the knocked-out nucleons reduces cross sections by about 15%, similar to the effect of electron scattering. Furthermore, the effect of the Coulomb distortion for the outgoing leptons is shown to be different from the electron scattering. Finally, our total cross sections by scaling number of participated nucleons are presented to compare with experimental data.

Coherent/incoherent metal transition in a holographic model
A bstractWe study AC electric (σ), thermoelectric (α), and thermal κ¯$$ \left(\overline{\kappa}\right) $$ conductivities in a holographic model, which is based on 3+1 dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-scalar action. There is momentum relaxation due to massless scalar fields linear to spatial coordinate. The model has three field theory parameters: temperature (T), chemical potential (μ), and effective impurity (β). At low frequencies, if β < μ, all three AC conductivities (σ, α,κ¯$$ \overline{\kappa} $$) exhibit a Drude peak modified by pair creation contribution (coherent metal). The parameters of this modified Drude peak are obtained analytically. In particular, if β ≪ μ the relaxation time of electric conductivity approaches to 23μ/β2$$ 2\sqrt{3\mu }/{\beta}^2 $$ and the modified Drude peak becomes a standard Drude peak. If β > μ the shape of peak deviates from the Drude form (incoherent metal). At intermediate frequencies (T < ω < μ), we have analysed numerical data of three conductivities (σ, α,κ¯$$ \overline{\kappa} $$) for a wide variety of parameters, searching for scaling laws, which are expected from either experimental results on cuprates superconductors or some holographic models. In the model we study, we find no clear signs of scaling behaviour.

Cosmic-ray tests for quality control of the CDF plug upgrade EM calorimeter and the CDF plug preshower detector
The CDF Plug Upgrade electromagnetic (EM) calorimeter and the preshower detector consist of tile-"ber elements forming a projective tower geometry. Each of the 23 longitudinal layers is separated into 24 units in the azimuthal direction. Cosmic-ray tests as a quality control of these mechanically basic units, called the 153 units, were carried out since January 1995 and completed in June 1996. All the units amounting to a total 1200 units were processed. By using HAMAMASU R4125 for the photon readout, the average light yields were measured to be 5.8 and 21 photoelectrons for the EM and the preshower units, respectively. The light yield variation along the longitudinal layers of EM tower was measured to be 10%. A GEANT-simulation study using the results of the cosmic-ray tests was performed for a realistic calorimeter con"guration. It was found that the simulated energy resolution was consistent with the requirement of *E/E"J(16%)2/E#(1%)2 (E in GeV). Adding preshower response to EM response improved in particular the linearity of the calorimeter. It was possible to achieve the non-linearity of 1% level for energies in the range of 10}200 GeV.
