Deep inelastic neutrino scattering in a resonance model

Deep inelastic neutrino scattering is investigated in the framework of a direct channel resonance model. Using empirical properties of the baryon spectrum and making a universality hypothesis for the transition form factors, the authors deduce that in the Bjorken- Johnson-Low limit the the structure functions W/sub 1/, nu W/sub 2/ and nu W/sub 3/ become functions of the scale variable alone. By imposing generalized Goldberger-Treiman-Nambu relations on the axial transition matrix elements and fixing the coupling constants from low- energy experiments, they predict all structure functions without free parameters. The predictions of the theory are compared with neutrino scattering data obtained at CERN. Good agreement is found between theory and experiment in the deep inelastic region.
