Antineutrino interactions in the deuterium filled 15 foot bubble chamber
It is proposed to study the interactions of antineutrinos in deuterium. The initial request is for 300,000 pictures out of a total of one million pictures using the two-horn broad band system with 10{sup 13} protons (300 GeV) per pulse. We plan to use the external muon identifier. The physics motivation includes the following: (1) Search for charmed mesons. (2) Study of elastic and inelastic hyperon production. Only in anti-neutrino interactions can we study the {Delta}S = 1 charged current in quasi two-body interactions at energies and momentum transfers higher than that available in decays. (3) Study of the quasi elastic and pion production reactions. These data will be combined with the {nu}p data of our experiment (E-31). (4) Inclusive study of charged current interactions off neutrons and protons. (5) We will study the structure of the neutral current interaction. We will check the absence of {Delta}S = 1 neutral currents. (6) We will also look for di-muon events using the EMI. (7) We are interested in the possibility of inserting a three-radiation length metal plate in the bubble chamber to serve as a gamma converter and an electron detector.
