DOIAbstract
AbstractDuring the years 1994–1997, the emulsion target of the CHORUS detector was exposed to the Wide Band Neutrino Beam from the CERN-SPS. About 170000 neutrino interactions were successfully located in the emulsion. Improvements in the automatic emulsion scanning systems and application of different criteria allowed the sample of located events to be used for studies of charm production. We present a measurement of the production rate of D0 mesons based on a sample of 25693 located νμ charged-current (CC) interactions analysed so far. After reconstruction of the event topology in the vertex region, 283 D0 decays were observed with an estimated background of 9.2 K0 and Λ decays. The ratio of cross-section of D0 production and νμ CC intera...
