Abstract: (Springer)
The cross-section for neutrino excitation of a nucleon resonance can be expressed by three partial cross-sectionsσR, σL andσS. These are directly given in terms of matrix elements of the weak currents. Taking the current matrix elements from a relativistic quark model, we calculate the production cross-sections for all the nucleon resonances of the harmonic-oscillator baryon spectrum with massM < 1750 MeV. It is found that outside the forward direction whereσS dominates,σR andσS are small compared withσL in the whole resonance region considered. The calculated cross-section and density matrix elements for the P33(1236) resonance are in good agreement with the recent Argonne experiment.
