Samples of 9200 muon-neutrino and 3800 muon-antineutrino interactions on nuclei were obtained with the fine-grain calorimeter of the CHARM Collaboration at the CERN 200 GeV narrow-band neutrino beam. The interactions were classified as either neutral-current or charged-current processes on an event-by-event basis. Neutral-current and charged-current cross sections in neutrino and antineutrino interactions are presented. From these results we deduce a statistically significant contribution of right-handed coupling to the neutral hadronic current, and a value of the electroweak mixing angle corresponding to sin 2 θ = 0.220 ± 0.014.

We present a study of antineutrino interactions in hydrogen obtained in a 138000-picture run at the BNL 7-ft bubble chamber. The antineutrino beam had an energy distribution that peaked at ∼1.1 GeV. The cross section measured for charged-current interactions is σ(ν¯p→μ++anything)=(0.32±0.08)×10−38×[Eν¯ (GeV)] cm2. The neutral-current cross section is σ(ν¯p→ν¯pπ+π−)=5.5−2.6+4.4×10−40 cm2. The ratio of strangeness-changing to non-strangeness-changing charged currents is Rs=0.06−0.05+0.13. An upper limit determined for charm production is σc<3.8×10−40 cm2 at the 90% confidence level. From the momentum-transfer distribution we measure average Q2 for inelastic charged-current events with energy greater than 2 GeV, 〈Q2〉=(0.10±0.03)[Eν¯ (GeV)]+(0.10±0.09) (GeV/c)2. Using a maximum-likelihood method we determine from the quasielastic events ν¯p→μ+n an axial-vector mass MA=0.9−0.3+0.4 GeV/c2.

Charged-current neutrino and antineutrino interaction cross sections have been measured in the energy range 10 to 50 GeV using BEBC filled with a neon-hydrogen mixture. At these energies, σ/E was measured to be (0.73±0.08) 10−38 cm2/GeV per nucleon for neutrinos and (0.32±0.06) 10−38 cm2/GeV per nucleon for antineutrinos.

Measurements of flux-normalized neutrino and antineutrino total charged-current cross sections (σ) in the energy range 45<E<205 GeV are presented. We see no evidence for the anomalous sharp rise in σν¯σν reported by earlier authors. The neutrino cross section rises linearly with energy and with σE about 18% smaller than other measurements below 10 GeV. The average antineutrino slope at 55 GeV is consistent with measurements at low energy; however, a (20 ± 10)% increase is indicated over our energy range.

Total Cross-Sections for Charged Current Neutrino and anti-neutrino Interactions in BEBC in the Energy Range 20-GeV to 200-GeV

The charged-current cross sections for neutrinos and antineutrinos on nucleons in the energy range 20–200 GeV are given. Taken in conjunction with the previous Gargamelle results, they show that σ E is almost constant with energy for antineutrinos, and falls with energy for neutrinos. The value of 〈q 2 〉 E decreases with energy for both neutrinos and antineutrinos, and these deviations from exact Bjorken scaling are consistent with those observed in electron and muon inelastic scattering. We find no evidence for new heavy quark states with right-handed coupling.

We present results on flux-normalized neutrino and antineutrino cross sections near y=0 from data obtained in the Fermilab narrow-band beam. We conclude that values of σ0=dσdy|y=0 are consistent with rising linearly with energy over the range 45<~Eν<~20.5 GeV. The separate averages of ν and ν¯, each measured to 4%, are equal to well within the errors. The best fit for the combined data gives σ0E=(0.719±0.035)×10−38 cm2/GeV at an average Eν of 100 GeV.
