First observation of the neutral current nuclear excitation 12C(v,v')12C*(1+, 1)
Abstract
The neutral current nuclear excitation 12(v,v')12C* (1+, 1; 15.1 MeV) has been observed for the first time. For ve and vμ from μ+ -decay at rest the flux averaged cross section was determined to be <σNC(ve+vμ) > = [10.8+/-5.1 (stat.) +/-1.1 (syst.)]×10-42 cm2.
