Slow proton production in deep-inelastic neutrino scattering on deuterium

Abstract

The cross section for semi-inclusive deep inelastic charged current neutrino scattering on hydrogen and deuterium in which a slow proton is observed in coincidence with the muon is computed as a function of Bjorken x and light-cone momentum of the detected proton. In the Impulse Approximation contributions from hadronization and (in case of the deuteron) the emission of a spectator nucleon are considered. In addition the probability for rescattering is computed. The results are compared to a recent analysis of the data from the WA25 (BEBC) experiment at CERN. 25.30.Pt,13.85.Hi

A study of backward going p and π− in interactions with the NOMAD detector

“…These two classes of models are not mutually exclusive. Indeed some features of the data can be explained by both, and the experimentally observed production in the backward hemisphere [15] can have contributions from both mechanisms. While the production of particles in the KFR has been investigated over a very wide range of incident energies and on many different nuclear targets using hadron beams [16], the data on backward particle production in ν (ν) induced reactions are far less abundant.…”

Backward hadron production in neutrino-nucleus interactions

“…In ref. [11] F N P (x, Q 2 ; z) has been evaluated for the case of proton production in neutrino scattering, whereas the case of pion production in electron scattering has been discussed in ref. [1].…”

Nucleon-Nucleon Correlations and Six-Quark-Cluster Effects in Semi-Inclusive Deep-Inelastic Lepton Scattering off Few-Nucleon Systems

“…Estimates of FSI effects in semi-inclusive processes have also been recently obtained [24], which suggest that for light nuclei, which is the case considered in the present paper, FSI should play a minor role thanks to the finite formation time of the dressed hadrons. Moreover, it should be stressed that backward nucleon emission is not expected to be affected by forward-produced hadrons [25]. virtual photon absorption on a nucleon of a correlated NN pair (cf.…”
