Quasielastic antineutrino/proton and neutrino/neutron scatterings can be well approximated by simple formulae, valid around MeV or GeV energies. We obtain a single expression valid in the whole range, and discuss its relevance for studies of supernova neutrinos, which reach intermediate energies.

What can be learned from a future supernova neutrino detection (2017, neutral): “Both the cross section and kinematics are well understood [309, 310], making the IBD the golden channel for supernova neutrino detection.”
Neutrino-cooled Accretion Disks around Spinning Black Holes (2006, background): “The destruction of -particles consumes 7MeV per nucleon, which makes the disk thinner.”
JUNO physics and detector (2021, background): “16× 1031/(10 kton) is the number of protons in the JUNO target, σν(Eν) is the energydependent cross-section for the IBD reaction [73], and the last term represents the differential DSNB flux.”
