Description
Many important large-scale experiments are now operating
to uncover fundamental properties of neutrinos including the
mass hierarchy, mixing angles, CP violation and the Majorana
nature of the neutrino.
These very different experiments probe different regimes of
energy and momenta, but all should be described by
a realistic picture of nuclear interactions and currents.
I will describe recent developments in our understanding of
beta decay at very low momentum transfer, quasi-elastic neutrino
scattering at much higher energy and momentum transfer. Finally
I will describe how the effects discovered in beta decay and
accelerator neutrinos may impact double beta decay matrix elements
and astrophysical neutrinos.
