Abstract
We present a perturbative QCD calculation of diffractive production in charged current deep inelastic scattering. In the two-gluon exchange model, we analyze the diffractive process $νN \to μ^- N \Ds$, which may provide useful information for the gluon structure of nucleons and the diffraction mechanism in QCD. The cross section of diffractive production with $\xBj=0.005$-0.05 and Gev is found to be pb. In spite of this small cross section, the high luminosity available at the -Factory in the future would lead to a sizable number of diffraction events.
