Neutrino induced charm production in the CHORUS experiment

The CHORUS experiment has been designed to detect decays of tau leptons coming from nu /sub mu / to nu /sub tau / neutrino oscillation using nuclear emulsion as primary neutrino target. The ability for detecting decays of $9 short-lived particles can be used to search for charm particles produced vi...

Sumario:The CHORUS experiment has been designed to detect decays of tau leptons coming from nu /sub mu / to nu /sub tau / neutrino oscillation using nuclear emulsion as primary neutrino target. The ability for detecting decays of $9 short-lived particles can be used to search for charm particles produced via deep inelastic and diffractive neutrino interactions. Detection techniques and first observations of charm particle decays will be reported. (10 refs).
