Abstract
A general formalism for calculating the cross section for neutrino (antineutrino) disintegration of the deuteron caused by the weak neutral currents predicted by the spontaneously broken gauge theories of Weinberg type is developed for moderate neutrino (antineutrino) energies in the MeV range. Numerical results are presented for the special case of low antineutrino energies relevant to the recent experiment of Gurr, Reines, and Sobel.
