Inclusive neutrino reactions in nuclei

Abstract
The charged-current inclusive reaction for the process nu e+12C to e-+X is calculated from threshold to 100 MeV. The cross sections are calculated via a tensor describing the hadronic part of the interaction, the elements of which are obtained phenomenologically from the total muon capture rates and from electromagnetic-scattering data. Cross sections averaged over the Michel spectrum are also obtained and compared to the existing experimental results.
