Recent results from neutrino interactions in heavy neon

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6445688
We report recent results from an analysis of 100,000 pictures from the Fermilab 15 ft. bubble chamber filled with heavy neon and exposed to the double horn focused, wideband ..nu../sub ..mu../ beam. We have found 164 dilepton (..mu../sup -/e/sup +/) events with 33 vees, in good agreement with the GIM model of charm production. We have also observed the production of the charmed D/sup 0/ meson, followed by the decay D/sup 0/ ..-->.. K/sup 0/..pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/, at a rate of (0.7 +- 0.2)% of all charged current events. We have carried out searches for charm changing neutral current processes and for heavy lepton production, both with negative results; the upper limits obtained in these searches are given.
