Charged current deep inelastic scattering of muon neutrinos off ^{56}Fe

Abstract

In this paper, we study charged current deep inelastic scattering of muon neutrinos off ^{56}Fe nuclei using Hirai, Kumano and Saito model. The LHA Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) - CT10 are used to describe the partonic content of hadrons. Modification of PDFs inside the nuclei is done using EPPS16 parameterization at next-to-leading order. Target mass correction has also been incorporated in the calculations. We calculate the structure functions (F_{2}(x,Q^{2}) and xF_{3}(x,Q^{2})), the ratios (R_{2}(x,Q^{2}) = \frac{F^{^{56}Fe}_{2}}{F^{Nucleon}_{2}} and R_{3}(x,Q^{2}) = \frac{F^{^{56}Fe}_{3}}{F^{Nucleon}_{3}}) and the differential cross sections of muon neutrino deep inelastic scattering off a nucleon and ^{56}Fe nuclei. We compare the obtained results with measured experimental data. The present theoretical approach gives a good description of data.
