Nuclear Shadowing in Electro-Weak Interactions
arXiv:1208.6541 · doi:10.1016/j.ppnp.2012.09.004
Abstract
Shadowing is a quantum phenomenon leading to a non-additivity of electroweak cross sections on nucleons bound in a nucleus. It occurs due to destructive interference of amplitudes on different nucleons. Although the current experimental evidence for shadowing is dominated by charged-lepton nucleus scattering, studies of neutrino nucleus scattering have recently begun and revealed unexpected results.
