Abstract:
Exclusive and inclusive (νμ,μ )(\nu_\mu, \mu~-), (νe,e )(\nu_e, e~-) cross-sections and μ \mu~--capture rates are calculated for  12~{12}C and  16~{16}O using the consistent random phase approximation (RPA) and pairing model. After a pairing correction is introduced to the RPA results the flux-averaged theoretical (νμ,μ )(\nu_\mu, \mu~-), (νe,e )(\nu_e, e~-) cross-sections and μ \mu~--capture rates in  12~{12}C are in good agreement with experiment. In particular when one takes into account the experimental error bars, the recently measured range of values for the (νμ,μ )(\nu_\mu, \mu~-) cross-section is in agreement with the present theoretical results. Predictions of (νμ,μ )(\nu_\mu, \mu~-) and (νe,e )(\nu_e, e~-) cross-sections in  16~{16}O are also presented.
