Effect of the bound nucleon form factors on charged-current neutrino-nucleus scattering
Abstract
We study the effect of bound nucleon form factors on charged-current neutrino-nucleus scattering. The bound nucleon form factors of the vector and axial-vector currents are calculated in the quark-meson coupling model. We compute the inclusive
