High-energy neutrino cross sections

We provide tabulated cross sections and uncertainties for neutrino and antineutrino CC and NC interactions on protons, neutrons and isoscalar targets as predicted by HERAPDF1.5 at NLO DGLAP. The details of our calculation as well as references can be found in

We provide separate CSV (comma separated value) files for

neutrinos on protons:  totalX_nu_p_HERAPDF1.5NLO.dat 
neutrinos on neutrons:  totalX_nu_n_HERAPDF1.5NLO.dat 
neutrinos on isoscalar targets:  totalX_nu_iso_HERAPDF1.5NLO.dat 
antineutrinos on protons:  totalX_nubar_p_HERAPDF1.5NLO.dat 
antineutrinos on neutrons:  totalX_nubar_n_HERAPDF1.5NLO.dat 
antineutrinos on isoscalar targets:  totalX_nubar_iso_HERAPDF1.5NLO.dat 

Each line contains (in this order)

  • the (anti)neutrino energy in GeV,
  • the cross section in pb for CC scattering,
  • the relative upper uncertainty for CC scattering,
  • the relative lower uncertainty for CC scattering,
  • the antineutrino in pb cross section for NC scattering,
  • the relative upper uncertainty for NC scattering and
  • the relative lower uncertainty for NC scattering.
