Resumen:
We extend the formalism of weak interaction processes, obtaining new expressionsfor the transition rates, which greatly facilitate numerical calculations, both for neutrino-nucleus reactions and muon capture. Explicit violation of CVC hypothesis by the Coulomb field, as well as development of a sum rule approachfor the inclusive cross sections have been worked out. We have done a thorough study of exclusive (ground state) properties of 12B and12N within the projected quasiparticle random phaseapproximation (PQRPA). Good agreement with experimental data achieved in this way put in evidence the limitationsof standard RPA and the QRPA models, which come from the inability ofthe RPA in opening the p3/2 shell, and from the non-conservation of the number of particles in the QRPA.The inclusive neutrino/antineutrino reactions on 12C are calculated within both the PQRPA, and the relativistic QRPA (RQRPA). It is found that the magnitudes of the resulting cross-sections: i) are close to the sum-rule limitat low energy, but significantly smaller than this limitat high energies both for neutrino and antineutrino,ii) they steadily increase when the size of the configuration space is augmented,and particulary for energies > 200 MeV,and iii) converge for sufficiently large configuration space and final state spin. We study the decomposition of the inclusivecross-section based on the degree of forbiddenness of different multipoles. The neutrino-12C charge-exchange reactions related with astrophysical applications are briefly discussed.
