Particle production by neutrinos. [25 GeV, review]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5567559
A review is given of particle production by neutrinos in charged-current inclusive and exclusive channels. The production rates for various particles in neutrino-nucleon interactions at a beam energy of 25 GeV are compared. The mesons are, of course, dominated by pion production. The p/sup 0/(760) rate is an order of magnitude smaller. Strange and charm pseudoscalar mesons are a further factor of two down in rate. The strange vector mesons are suppressed by more than an order of magnitude relative to K/sup 0/ production; however, the charmed D*/sup +/(2010) is only a factor of two smaller in rate than the D/sup 0/(1860). With regards to the baryons, most of them are, of course, nucleons. The ..lambda../sup 0/ and Y*(1385) rates are down by one and two orders of magnitudes, respectively. The lower limit on the charmed ..sigma../sub c//sup + +/ baryon rate is similar to the Y*(1385) rate. Finally, the quasielastic and one-pion production exclusive channels have about the same cross section as that of the D*/sup +/; associated production of strange particles in the ..nu..n ..-->.. ..mu../sup -/K/sup +/..lambda.. channel and the ..delta..S = +..delta cap omega.. process ..nu..p ..-->.. ..mu../sup -/pK/sup +/ are down by factors of five and twenty, respectively, compared to the quasielastic cross section.
