We obatin the ratio $F_i^A/F_i^{D}$(i=2,3, A=Be, C, Fe, Pb; D=Deuteron) in the case of weak and electromagnetic nuclear structure functions. For this, relativistic nuclear spectral function which incorporate the effects of Fermi motion, binding and nucleon correlations is used. We also consider the pion and rho meson cloud contributions and shadowing and antishadowing effects.

Recent phenomenological analysis of experimental data on DIS processes induced by charged leptons and neutrinos/antineutrinos beams on nuclear targets by CTEQ collaboration has confirmed the observation of CCFR and NuTeV collaborations, that weak structure function $F_{2A}^{Weak} (x,Q^2)$ is different from electromagnetic structure function $F_{2A}^{EM} (x,Q^2)$ in a nucleus like iron, specially in the region of low $x$ and $Q^2$. In view of this observation we have made a study of nuclear medium effects on $F_{2A}^{Weak} (x,Q^2)$ and $F_{2A}^{EM} (x,Q^2)$ for a wide range of $x$ and $Q^2$ using a microscopic nuclear model. We have considered Fermi motion, binding energy, nucleon correlations, mesonic contributions from pion and rho mesons and shadowing effects to incorporate nuclear medium effects. The calculations are performed in a local density approximation using a relativistic nucleon spectral function which includes nucleon correlations. The numerical results in the case of iron nucleus are compared with the experimental data.
We have studied nuclear medium effects in the weak structure functions $F^A_2(x)$ and $F^A_3(x)$ and in the extraction of weak mixing angle using Paschos Wolfenstein(PW) relation. We have modified the PW relation for nonisoscalar nuclear target. We have incorporated the medium effects like Pauli blocking, Fermi motion, nuclear binding energy, nucleon correlations, pion $&$ rho cloud contributions, and shadowing and antishadowing effects.
Connections are explored between exclusive and inclusive electron scattering within the framework of the relativistic plane-wave impulse approximation, beginning with an analysis of the model-independent kinematical constraints to be found in the missing energy--missing momentum plane. From the interplay between these constraints and the spectral function basic features of the exclusive and inclusive nuclear responses are seen to arise. In particular, the responses of the relativistic Fermi gas and of a specific hybrid model with confined nucleons in the initial state are compared in this work. As expected, the exclusive responses are significantly different in the two models, whereas the inclusive ones are rather similar. By extending previous work on the relativistic Fermi gas, a reduced response is introduced for the hybrid model such that it fulfills the Coulomb and the higher-power energy-weighted sum rules. While incorporating specific classes of off-shellness for the struck nucleons, it is found that the reducing factor required is largely model-independent and, as such, yields a reduced response that is useful for extracting the Coulomb sum rule from experimental data. Finally, guided by the difference between the energy-weighted sum rules of the two models, a version of the relativistic Fermi gas is devised which has the 0$^{rm th}$, 1$^{rm st}$ and 2$^{rm nd}$ moments of the charge response which agree rather well with those of the hybrid model: this version thus incorporates {em a priori} the binding and confinement effects of the stuck nucleons while retaining the simplicity of the original Fermi gas.
Recent experimental data and progress in nuclear structure modeling have lead to improved descriptions of astrophysically important weak-interaction processes. The review discusses these advances and their applications to hydrostatic solar and stellar burning, to the slow and rapid neutron-capture processes, to neutrino nucleosynthesis, and to explosive hydrogen burning. Special emphasis is given to the weak-interaction processes associated with core-collapse supernovae. Despite some significant progress, important improvements are still warranted. Such improvements are expected to come from future radioactive ion-beam facilities.
Decays of $Lambda$ in nuclei, nonmesonic mode, are studied by using the $Lambda N to NN$ weak transition potential derived from the meson exchange mechanism and the direct quark mechanism. The decay rates are calculated both for the $Lambda$ in symmetric nuclear matter and light hypernuclei. We consider the exchange of six mesons ($pi, K, eta, rho, omega, K^ast$). The form factor in the meson exchange mechanism and short range correlation are carefully studied.
