Delta Excitations in Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering

Abstract

We derive the contribution of $\Delta$-h excitations to quasielastic charged-current neutrino-nucleus scattering in the framework of relativistic mean-field theory. We discuss the effect of $\Delta$ production on the determination of the axial mass $M_A$ in neutrino scattering experiments.
