  • Description: A systematic analysis of the weak responses for charged-current quasielastic neutrino-nucleus reactions is presented within the scheme of a fully relativistic microscopic model considering momentum-dependent scalar and vector mean field potentials in both the initial and final nucleon states. The responses obtained are compared with the ones corresponding to simpler approaches: energy-independent potentials and the relativistic plane wave limit in the final state, i.e., no potentials applied to the outgoing particle. The analysis is also extended to the scaling phenomenon, which provides additional information regarding nuclear dynamics. Results for the scaling function are shown for various nuclei and different values of the transferred momentum in order to analyze the behavior of the relativistic scalar and vector mean field potentials.
