Charged- and neutral-current solar-neutrino cross sections for heavy-water Cherenkov detectors

Charged- and neutral-current neutrino cross sections for deuterium have been calculated for the Bonn, Paris, and Hamada-Johnson potentials in order to estimate event rates (and their uncertainties) for solar and supernova neutrino detection in the Sudbury Solar Neutrino Observatory. Tests of the wave functions are provided by calculations of the j=1/2 hyperfine-state muon capture rate and of the total cross section for absorbing ${\nu }_{\mathit{e}}$s from stopped muon decay. Detailed tables of the Paris potential results are given, and comparisons are made to the work of Doi and Kubodera.
