Abstract
Neutrino experiments in a Forward Physics Facility at the Large Hadron
Collider can measure neutrino and antineutrino cross sections for energies up
to a few TeV. For neutrino energies below 100 GeV, the inelastic cross section
evaluations have contributions from weak structure functions at low momentum
transfers and low hadronic final state invariant mass. To evaluate the size of
these contributions to the neutrino cross section, we use a parametrization of
the electron-proton structure function, adapted for neutrino scattering,
augmented with a correction to account for the partial conservation of the
axial vector current, and normalized to structure functions evaluated at
next-to-leading order in QCD, with target mass corrections and heavy quark
corrections. We compare our results with other approaches to account for this
kinematic region in neutrino cross section for energies between 10--1000 GeV on
isoscalar nucleon and iron targets.
