Neutral-current neutrino-nucleus scattering off I (127) and Cs (133): Coherent and incoherent contributions with electroweak refinements for odd-A nuclei
Neutral-current neutrino scattering on odd-A nuclei like iodine-127 and cesium-133 receives important incoherent and axial contributions that enhance the cross section at low energies.

Record completeness
Claims
Inclusion of incoherent and axial contributions enhances the total cross section near Enu ~ 10 MeV, while the incoherent component becomes dominant around Enu ~ 50 MeV. Expected interaction rates for decay-at-rest neutrinos are of order 0.1 events kg^-1 yr^-1 near a 40 keV recoil threshold.
The incoherent contribution evaluated using structure-function methods provides an accurate decomposition for odd-A nuclei when a consistent distinction between nuclear and nucleon form factors is maintained throughout the formalism.
Neutral-current scattering cross sections for 127I and 133Cs are computed in a unified framework showing incoherent and axial contributions enhance totals near 10 MeV neutrino energy with incoherent dominance near 50 MeV.
