Description
The Standard Model predicts a rapid enhancement of the cross section for scattering of electron antineutrinos on electrons at energies around the $W$ boson production threshold. This enhancement, usually referred to as the Glashow resonance, is currently searched for at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and its discovery would be a crucial test of the lepton sector of the Standard Model. We show that the CP-conjugate of the process, $\nu_e+e^+\rightarrow W^+$, contributes to the total neutrino-nucleus cross section and can, in principle, be also probed at large-volume neutrino detectors as IceCube, KM3NeT and Baikal-GVD.
