Abstract

The report is on ..nu.. interactions in the FNAL 15 foot bubble chamber filled with heavy neon. Inclusive production of ..pi../sup +/, ..pi../sup -/, K/sup 0/ and ..lambda../sup 0/ is shown. Limits are given on the production and hadronic decay of ..lambda../sub c/. The rate of D/sup 0/ production and decay to K/sup 0/..pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/ is reported. Events containing a ..mu../sup -/ and e/sup +/ are observed and interpreted as leptonic decay of charm. Events with single e/sup +/ or e/sup -/ are reported and found to be consistent with anti ..nu../sub e/ and ..nu../sub e/ interactions.

Search for charmed-particle decays in a neutrino experiment with a nuclear emulsion placed in the FNAL 15-foot bubble chamber

Journal Article Ammar, R ; Ammosov, V V ; Bakich, A ; ... - Sov. J. Nucl. Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

We report the results of an experiment on search for decays of charmed particles. Type BR-2 cryogenically sensitive nuclear emulsion placed in the 15-foot bubble chamber was exposed to a beam of muon neutrinos with a broad energy spectrum in the FNAL accelerator. We give an analysis of five recorded decays of short-lived particles, four of which are interpreted as decays of the charmed ..lambda../sup +//sub c/ baryon and D/sup +/, D/sup 0/, and D/sup 0/ mesons.
Dilepton production by neutrinos in the Fermilab 15-foot bubble chamber

Journal Article Ballagh, H C ; Bingham, H H ; Lawry, T ; ... - Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

In an exposure of the Fermilab 15-foot neon-hydrogen bubble chamber to a quadrupole triplet neutrino beam, 49 ..mu../sup -/e/sup +/ and 14 ..mu../sup +/e/sup -/ events with e/sup + -/ momenta greater than 0.3 GeV/c have been observed, yielding ..mu..e rates per charged-current event of (0.73 +- 0.11)% and (1.1 +- 0.3)%, respectively. The ..mu../sup -/e/sup +/ rate shows no strong energy dependence in the range from 30 to 300 GeV. The 18 neutral strange particles observed in the 63 events contain 14 K/sup 0//sub S/, 2 ..lambda.., and 2 ..lambda../K/sup 0//sub S/ ambiguities, suggesting that the events are predominantlymore »« less

Measurement of the K/sup 0//sub L/ form factors from K/sup 0//sub L/. --> pi mu nu. decays in the 12-foot bubble chamber

Journal Article Cho, Y ; Derrick, M ; Miller, R J ; ... - Phys. Rev., D; (United States)

We report results of a measurement of the form factors in K/sup 0//sub L/ leptonic decay. We analyze both the Dalitz plot of the decay K/sup 0//sub L/..--> pi mu nu.. and the branching ratio GAMMA(K/sup 0//sub mu3/)/GAMMA(K/sup 0//sub e/3). The experiment was performed in the Argonne 12-foot bubble chamber exposed to a monoenergetic K/sup 0//sub L/ beam. Simultaneous detection of ..pi mu nu.. and ..pi..e..nu.. decays with large acceptance results in well understood systematic uncertainties. The results have been analyzed to give lambda/sub +/ and lambda/sub 0/, the expansion parameters of the form factors dominated by 1/sup -/ andmore »« less

Neutral currents in the antineutrino experiment in the 15-foot bubble chamber

Journal Article Gorichev, P A ; Efremenko, V I ; Kliger, G K ; ... - Sov. J. Nucl. Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

We present the results of a study of the weak hadronic neutral current, using data (approx.13,000 events) obtained in the exposure of the FNAL 15-foot bubble chamber filled with a heavy neon-hydrogen mixture to a broad-band high-energy antineutrino beam. The following quantities have been measured: 1) the ratio of the neutral and charged current cross sections for nu-barN interactions sigma(nu-barN..-->..nu-barX)/sigma(nu-barN..--> mu../sup +/X) = 0.406 +- 0.028; 2) the ratio of the cross sections for neutral current nu-barn and nu-barp interactions sigma(nu-barn..-->..nu-barX/sup 0/)/sigma(nu-barp..-->..nu-barX/sup +/) = 0. 88 +- 0.17; 3) the ratio of the yields of positive and negative mesons inmore »« less
Neutral strange particle production in high energy charged current neutrino deuterium interactions

Thesis/Dissertation Son, D

In an exposure of the Fermilab 15-foot deuterium filled bubble chamber to a single horn focused wide band neutrino beam with energies between 10 and 250 GeV, 311 K/sub s/, 219 lambda and 7 Anti lambda are observed. These correspond to K/sup 0/anti(K/sup 0/), lambda(..sigma../sup 0/) and anti lambda production rates per charged current interaction of 0.170 +/- 0.010, 0.060 +/- 0.004, and 0.002 +/- 0.001, respectively, in 18.9 +/- 0.09% V/sup 0/ events of total charged current events. The inclusive lambda rate in nun interactions is significantly higher than that in nup interactions. The multiplicity of K/sup 0/ increasesmore »« less
