Abstract
We review the relevance of neutrino-nucleus interactions at energy transfers below 100 MeV for accelerator-based experiments, experiments at lower energies and for astrophysical neutrinos. The impact of low-energy scattering processes in the energy reconstruction analysis of oscillation experiments is investigated. We discuss the modeling of coherent scattering processes and compare its strength to that of inelastic interactions. The presented results are obtained within a continuum random phase approximation approach.
