This Letter compares neutral-current and charged-current scaling-variable distributions in neutrino-nucleon interactions induced by a narrow-band beam at Brookhaven National Laboratory; the x distribution of neutral-current events has been reported previously. The first measurement of flux-normalized neutrino cross sections from a narrow-band beam in the energy range E v =3-9 GeV is also presented.
Diffraction dissociation of both the beam and target particles has been observed in 150-GeV/c .ir--p interactions in the Fermilab 30-in.-bubble-chamber--proportional-wirechambe hybrid spectrometer. The dissociations are observed as recoil systems opposite leading particles, the signals of which are separated from background where appropriate by a variant of the Van Hove sector cut, thus allowing the high-mass portion of the spectrum to be observed. Pion dissociation has a cross section of 1758-t. 105 pb, divided among two-, four., and six-prong events; some p0 production is seen and comes primarily from the n--t2n-.ir + channel. The proton dissociation cross section is 1726, 100 pb, again divided among two-, four-, and six-prong events. The final state contains a neutron more frequently than a proton in the twoand six-prong events, a proton more frequently in the four-prong events. Production of A + + is observed in the p +p.irf T -dissociations. transferring four-momenhim to other particles,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
