After EMC experiment, low energy neutrino-nucleon cross sections attracted attention from viewpoint of strange quark contriutions to the nucleon spin.

What is new with Neutrino Factories
hydrogen and deuteron targetsin counter experiments (non-bubble chamber)
polarized hydrogen and deuteron targets
GeV,to up 30E and beams with low contaminations, small beam diameter, beam is polarized (!)
Deep inelastic scattering on the nucleon at high energies quark and antiquark structure in the nucleon spin of quarks in polarized nucleon in particular, strangeness in the nucleon tests of fundamental sum rules combined analysis with e and muon scatterings
Elastic scattering on the nucleon at low energies form factors both with and beams
T.-A. Shibata, NuFact04 25
Conclusions
Neutral and charged current neutrino interactions are useful tools to study the properties of the nucleon.
Neutrino reacts on the quark flavor selectively. Neutrino beam is 100% polarized. Selective reactions with quark helicity (spin).
‘Proton Spin Problem’ is an important challenge for QCD (EMC,1988). Strange quark is suggested to be negatively polarized.
Hadron detection in electron deep inelastic scattering (HERMES) provides flavor separation of quark helicity distributions
Neutrino reaction is a promising approach to determine strange quark contributions to the nucleon spin .
At Neutrino Factories neutrino reactions on polarized targets are expected.
