We present a measurement of the polarization of Antilambda hyperons produced in nu_mu charged current interactions. The full data sample from the NOMAD experiment has been analyzed using the same V0 identification procedure and analysis method reported in a previous paper for the case of Lambda hyperons. The Antilambda polarization has been measured for the first time in a neutrino experiment. The polarization vector is found to be compatible with zero.

Using data from the Fermilab 15 ft hydrogen bubble chamber, we have studied inclusive ϱ 0 production in antineutrino-proton charged-current interactions. We measure (0.21 ± 0.03) ϱ 0 /event, corresponding to ϱ 0 / π − =0.12 ± 0.02. As a function of Q 2 and for hadronic masses above a threshold region, the ϱ 0 / π − ratio shows little variation. At least 50% of the ϱ 0 's are consistent with coming from the current fragmentation region. The results agree reasonably well with the predictions of the quark fragmentation model of Feynman and field.

From an analysis of 2275 ν¯p→μ++X0 events at an average Q2 of 4.5 GeV2, there are presented the first measurements, up to one undetermined overall normalization constant, of the x dependence of the proton structure functions using antineutrinos, and of the u and d¯+s¯ quark distributions. The result for u(x) is in good agreement with models based on fits to electron and muon scattering data. With u(x) normalized to those models the absolute antiquark momentum distribution x[d¯x+s¯(x)] in the proton is determined.

The properties of the final-state hadronic system in antineutrino-proton charged-current interactions are presented. The events were observed in the Fermilab 15-foot hydrogen bubble chamber. The average energy of the events is ∼30 GeV, but there are some interactions beyond 100 GeV. The mean multiplicity of the charged hadrons varies as 〈nCH〉=(0.06±0.06)+(1.22±0.03)lnW2 for hadronic masses W in the range 1.0<W2<50 GeV2. By contrast, the multiplicity depends only weakly on the four-momentum transfer between the leptons. The mean pion multiplicities for events with three or more charged tracks are found to be 〈n−〉=1.64±0.04, 〈n0〉=1.16±0.13, for π− and π0 production, respectively. By comparing the number of positive tracks with π− data from neutrino production, we deduce a mean proton multiplicity 〈np〉 of 0.53 ± 0.15. The single-particle distributions in both longitudinal and transverse momentum are found to be similar to those for nondiffractive production in hadronic collisions. The fragmentation properties of the final-state d quarks are compared to the expectations of the quark-parton model. The fraction of observed neutral-strange-particle production for events with three or more charged tracks is 0.08 ± 0.015 and is consistent with coming completely from associated production.
