Abstract

This review of high-energy neutrino interactions is devoted mainly to a discussion of new experimental results which have become available during the last year. It is restricted to the high-energy limit where the interpretation of the results is simplified if threshold effects are negligible, i.e. where the centre-o?-mass energy of the reaction is large compared to the rest mass of the target. The laboratory energy of the neutrino is then more than a few MeV for purely leptonic interactions on electrons, and a few GeV or more for semileptonic interactions on nucleon targets.
