Estimates of charm production in exclusive neutrino reactions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)
We present calculations of the cross sections for two types of exclusive charm-production reactions: the quasi-elastic processes ..nu..N ..-->.. ..mu../sup -/(C/sub 0/,C/sub 1/,C/sub 1/*) and the single-pseudoscalar-meson production processes ..nu..N ..-->.. ..mu../sup -/K(C/sub 0/,C/sub 1/) and anti ..nu..N ..-->.. ..mu../sup +/ anti D(..lambda..,..sigma..). With a set of reasonable assumptions we find that the ratio of the cross section for these exclusive channels to the inclusive noncharm cross section is approx. 4% for neutrinos and approx. 3% for antineutrinos.
