Remarkable improvements in the evaluation of neutrino-nucleus reaction cross sections are obtained based on new shell-model Hamiltonians with proper tensor components. New ν-induced reaction cross sections on 12C, 13C, 56Fe, 56Ni and 40Ar are presented, and predictions for nucleosynthesis in supernova explosions, ν-oscillation effects and low-energy reactor and solar neutrino detection are discussed based on these new cross sections.
