Abstract

Exclusive and inclusive (νμ, μ-), (νe, e-) cross-sections and μ--capture rates are calculated for 12C and 16O using the consistent random phase approximation (RPA) and pairing model. After a pairing correction is introduced to the RPA results the flux-averaged theoretical (νμ, μ-), (νe, e-) cross-sections and μ--capture rates in 12C are in good agreement with experiment. In particular when one takes into account the experimental error bars, the recently measured range of values for the (νμ, μ-) cross-section is in agreement with the present theoretical results. Predictions of (νμ, μ-) and (νe, e-) cross-sections in 16O are also presented.
