Abstract

Sehgal and Hung and Sakurai have recently argued that neutrino-hadron neutral-current couplings must lie in one of two allowed regions in coupling-parameter space. We study this conjecture using realistic BNL ν_μ and ν̄_μ spectra in the elastic ν_μp (ν̄_μp) calculations and also study constraints imposed by theq²-distributions. On comparing to gauge models, we find that the Weinberg-Salam and SU(2)_L×SU(2)_R×U(1) models fall within one allowed region, while a vectorlike SU(3)×U(1) model and a hybrid SU(2)×U(1) model with a (u, b)_R doublet fall in the other region.
