“…MC events and tracks are selected in the same way as are experimental data yielding a final MC sample consisting of ≃ 2.5 × 10 6 events. The MC data used for this analysis do not include the simulation of "nuclear effects" such as the intranuclear cascade or correlations [23]. When needed, specific correction procedures to the MC events are applied using the experimental data distributions (see Sec.…”

Backward proton and π − production has been studied in ν µ CC interactions with carbon nuclei. Detailed analyses of the momentum distributions, of the production rates, and of the general features of events with a backward going particle, have been carried out in order to understand the mechanism producing these particles. The backward proton data have been compared with the predictions of the reinteraction and the short range correlation models.

“…This search used kinematic criteria to identify ν τ CC interactions [18] and required a very good quality of event reconstruction, in particular the ability to reconstruct individual particles. This has indeed been achieved by the NOMAD detector, and moreover, the large data sample collected during four years of data taking (1995-1998) has allowed for detailed studies of neutrino interactions.…”

First measurements of K ⋆ (892) ± mesons production properties and their spin alignment in ν µ charged current (CC) and neutral current (NC) interactions are presented. The analysis of the full data sample of the NOMAD experiment is performed in different kinematic regions. For K ⋆+ and K ⋆− mesons produced in ν µ CC interactions and decaying into K 0 π ± we have found the following yields per event: (2.6± 0.2 (stat.) ± 0.2 (syst.))% and (1.6 ± 0.1 (stat.) ± 0.1 (syst.))% respectively, while for the K ⋆+ and K ⋆− mesons produced in ν NC interactions the corresponding yields per event are: (2.5 ± 0.3 (stat.) ± 0.3 (syst.))% and (1.0 ± 0.3 (stat.) ± 0.2 (syst.))%. The results obtained for the ρ 00 parameter, 0.40±0.06 (stat)±0.03 (syst) and 0.28± 0.07 (stat)±0.03 (syst) for K ⋆ (892) + and K ⋆ (892) − produced in ν µ CC interactions, are compared to theoretical predictions tuned on LEP measurements in e + e − annihilation at the Z 0 pole. For K ⋆ (892) + mesons produced in ν NC interactions the measured ρ 00 parameter is 0.66 ± 0.10 (stat) ± 0.05 (syst).
