A measurement of differential cross-sections and nucleon structure functions in charged-current neutrino interactions on iron

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

A high-statistics measurement of the differential cross-sections for neutrino-iron scattering in the wide-band neutrino beam at the CERN SPS is presented. Nucleon structure functions are extracted and theirQ 2 evolution is compared with the predictions of quantum chromodynamics.
