Strange particle production at low and intermediate energies

摘要

The weak kaon production off the nucleon induced by neutrinos andantineutrinos is studied at low and intermediate energies of interest for someongoing and future neutrino oscillation experiments. We develop a microscopicalmodel based on the SU(3) chiral Lagrangians. The studied mechanisms are themain source of kaon production for neutrino energies up to 2 GeV for thevarious channels and the cross sections are large enough to be amenable to bemeasured by experiments such as Minerva, T2K and NO$\nu$A.
