“…However, the recent success of developing an automatic image processing system called Ultra Track Selector (UTS) [12] and an event reconstruction software package (NETSCAN) [13] improved the scanning procedure greatly. Emulsion detectors are now used as core devices for large-scale elementary particle experiments [13,14,15]. Taking advan-tage of this new emulsion technique, we conducted an experiment to measure fragmentation of carbon ions at HIMAC (Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba) at NIRS (National Institute of Radiological Sciences), Chiba, Japan.…”

We have studied charged nuclear fragments produced by 200 -400 MeV/nucleon carbon ions, interacting with water and polycarbonate, using a newly developed emulsion detector. Total and partial charge-changing cross sections for the production of B, Be, and Li fragments were measured and compared with both previously published measurements, and model predictions. This study is of importance for validating and improving carbon ion therapy treatment planning systems, and for estimating the radiological risks for personnel on space missions, since carbon is a significant component of the Galactic Cosmic Rays.

During the years 1994-97, the emulsion target of the CHORUS detector was exposed to the wide-band neutrino beam of the CERN SPS of 27 GeV average neutrino energy. In total about 100, 000 charged-current neutrino interactions with at least one identified muon were located in the nuclear emulsion target and fully reconstructed, using newly developed automatic scanning systems. Charmed particles were searched for by a program recognizing particle decays. This technique, based on the observation of the decay in nuclear emulsion, allows the selection of a sample with very low background and minimal kinematical bias. 2013 charged-current interactions with a charmed hadron in the final state were selected and confirmed through visual inspection. Some of the CHORUS measurements and their implications for future neutrino experiments are discussed in this paper.

Observation of one event with the characteristics of associated charm production in neutrino charged-current interactions

We report on a search for associated charm production in neutrino charged-current interactions in the CHORUS experiment, based on the visual observation of charmed-particle decays. The search differs from those carried out so far in which the production of cc has been inferred from measurements of events with two or three muons in the final state, resulting from the decay of charmed hadrons. One event with a double charm-decay topology has been found and a corresponding background of 0.04 events has been evaluated. 
