Slow proton production in deep-inelastic neutrino scattering on deuterium

Abstract

The cross section for semi-inclusive deep inelastic charged current neutrino scattering on hydrogen and deuterium in which a slow proton is observed in coincidence with the muon is computed as a function of Bjorken x and light-cone momentum of the detected proton. In the Impulse Approximation contributions from hadronization and (in case of the deuteron) the emission of a spectator nucleon are considered. In addition the probability for rescattering is computed. The results are compared to a recent analysis of the data from the WA25 (BEBC) experiment at CERN. (KVI-1024)
