For total centre-of-mass energies of a few GeV, the cross-section for the reaction + e

Question:

For total centre-of-mass energies of a few GeV, the cross-section for the reaction νμ + e → μ + νμ is given by σ = G2F E2/π in natural units, where GF is the Fermi coupling constant (1.42). What is the cross-section in picobarns at an energy E = 3GeV?


Equation 1.42

GF = 1.166 × 10−5 GeV−2.
