Effect of the bound nucleon form factors on charged-current neutrino-nucleus scattering

We study the effect of bound nucleon form factors on charged-current neutrino-nucleus scattering. The bound nucleon form factors of the vector and axial-vector currents are calculated in the quark-meson coupling model. We compute the inclusive $^{12}$C($\nu_\mu,\mu^-$)$X$ cross sections using a relativistic Fermi gas model with the calculated bound nucleon form factors. The effect of the bound nucleon form factors for this reaction is a reduction of $\sim$8% for the total cross section, relative to that calculated with the free nucleon form factors.
