Neutrino-nucleus scattering of 95,97Mo and 116Cd

Accurate knowledge about the nuclear responses to supernova neutrinos for relevant nuclear targets is important both for neutrino detection and for astrophysical applications. In this paper we discuss the cross sections for the charged-current neutrino-nucleus scatterings off 95,97Mo and 116Cd. The microscopic quasiparticle-phonon model is adopted for the odd-even nuclei 95,97Mo. In the case of 116Cd we present cross sections both for the Bonn one-boson-exchange potential and self-consistent calculations based on modern Skyrme interactions.
