We report on the extraction of R=sigma_L/sigma_T from CCFR nu_mu-Fe and nubar_mu-Fe differential cross sections. The CCFR differential cross sections do not show the deviations from the QCD expectations that are seen in the CDHSW data at very low and very high x. R as measured in nu_mu scattering is in agreement with R as measured in muon and electron scattering. All data on R for Q^2 > 1 GeV^2 are in agreement with a NNLO QCD calculation which includes target mass effects. We report on the first measurements of R in the low x and Q^2 < 1 GeV^2 region (where an anomalous large rise in R for nuclear targets has been observed by the HERMES collaboration).

We report on the extraction of R=sigam_L/sigma_T from CCFR neutrino and antineutrino-Iron differential cross sections. R as measured in neutrno scattering is in agreement with $R$ as measured in muon and electron scattering. All data on R for Q2 > 1 GeV2 are in agreement with a NNLO QCD calculation which uses NNLO PDFs and includes target mass effects. We report on the first measurements of R in the low x and Q2 < 1 GeV2 region (where an anomalous large rise in R for nuclear targets has been observed by the HERMES collaboration).
We report on the extraction of the structure functions F_2 and Delta xF_3 = xF_3(nu)-xF_3(nubar) from CCFR nu_mu-Fe and nubar_mu-Fe differential cross sections. The extraction is performed in a physics model independent (PMI) way. This first measurement of Delta xF_3, which is useful in testingmodels of heavy charm production, is higher than current theoretical predictions. The ratio of the F_2(PMI) values measured in nu_mu and nubar_mu scattering is in agreement (within 5%) with the predictions of NLO PDFS using massive charm production schemes, thus resolvin long-standing discrepancy between the two sets of data.
We report on the extraction of the structure functions F2 and Delta xF3 = xF3nu-xF3nub from CCFR neutrino-Fe and antineutrino-Fe differential cross sections. The extraction is performed in a physics model independent (PMI) way. This first measurement for Delta xF3 which is useful in testing models of heavy charm production, is higher than current theoretical predictions. The F2 (PMI) values measured in neutrino and muon scattering are in good agreement with the predictions of Next to Leading Order PDFs (using massive charm production schemes), thus resolving the long-standing discrepancy between the two sets of data.
The electromagnetic nuclear structure functions $F_{1A} (x,Q^2)$, $F_{2A} (x,Q^2)$ and $F_{LA} (x,Q^2)$ have been calculated using a microscopic model of nucleus to study the nuclear medium effects on the ratio $R_A(x,Q^2)=frac{sigma_{LA} (x,Q^2)}{sigma_{TA} (x,Q^2)} = frac{F_{LA} (x,Q^2)}{2xF_{1A} (x,Q^2)}$ and the Callan-Gross relation(CGR) in nuclei. The nuclear medium effects due to the Fermi motion, binding energy, nucleon correlations, mesonic contribution and shadowing have been taken into account. The theoretical results for the nuclear dependence of $R_{A} (x,Q^2)$ and its impact on CGR have been presented and compared with the available experimental data on the various nuclear targets. The predictions have been made for $R_{A} (x,Q^2)$ in the kinematic region of $x$ and $Q^2$ for some nuclei relevant for the future experiments to be performed at the JLab.
The detection of long-lived radionuclides through ultra-sensitive single atom counting via accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) offers opportunities for precise measurements of neutron capture cross sections, e.g. for nuclear astrophysics. The technique represents a truly complementary approach, completely independent of previous experimental methods. The potential of this technique is highlighted at the example of the $^{54}$Fe($n, gamma$)$^{55}$Fe reaction. Following a series of irradiations with neutrons from cold and thermal to keV energies, the produced long-lived $^{55}$Fe nuclei ($t_{1/2}=2.744(9)$ yr) were analyzed at the Vienna Environmental Research Accelerator (VERA). A reproducibility of about 1% could be achieved for the detection of $^{55}$Fe, yielding cross section uncertainties of less than 3%. Thus, the new data can serve as anchor points to time-of-flight experiments. We report significantly improved neutron capture cross sections at thermal energy ($sigma_{th}=2.30pm0.07$ b) as well as for a quasi-Maxwellian spectrum of $kT=25$ keV ($sigma=30.3pm1.2$ mb) and for $E_n=481pm53$ keV ($sigma= 6.01pm0.23$ mb). The new experimental cross sections have been used to deduce improved Maxwellian average cross sections in the temperature regime of the common $s$-process scenarios. The astrophysical impact is discussed using stellar models for low-mass AGB stars.
