Overview of Neutrino-Nucleus Interactions

Abstract

An overview of neutrino-nucleus interactions is presented. After a brief discussion of theory and applications of detector response three examples are discussed: i) Recent work on neutrino-deuteron reactions, ii) Probing strangeness content of the nucleon with neutrinos, and iii) The role of neutrino reactions in supernova dynamics and r-process nucleosynthesis.
