From 1994 to 1997, the emulsion target of the CHORUS detector was exposed to the wideband neutrino beam of the CERN SPS. In total about 100 000 charged-current neutrino interactions were located in the nuclear emulsion target and fully reconstructed. From this sample of events based on the data acquired by new automatic scanning systems; 2013 charm-decay events were selected by a pattern recognition program. They were confirmed as decays through visual inspection. Based on these events, the effective branching ratio of charmed particles into muons was determined to be (B) over bar (mu) = [7.3 +/- 0.8(stat) +/- 0.2(syst)] x 10(-2). In addition, the muonic branching ratios are presented for dominating charm-decay topologies. Normalization of the muonic decays to charged-current interactions provides sigma(mu)-(mu)+/sigma(cc) = [3.16 +/- 0.34(stat) 0.09(syst)] x 10(-3). Selecting only events with visible energy greater than 30 GeV gives a value of (B) over bar (mu) that is less affected by the charm production threshold and quasi-elastic Delta(+)(c) production. Combining this value with the current average of B 12 of vertical bar V-cd vertical bar(LO) = 0. 236 +/- 0.016.

Measurement of fragmentation properties of charmed particle production in charged-current neutrino interactions Onengut, G; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01) During the years 1994-1997, the emulsion target of the CHORUS detector was exposed to the wide-band neutrino beam of the CERN SPS. In total about 100 000 charged-current neutrino interactions were located in the nuclear emulsion target and fully reconstructed. From this sample of events which was based on the data acquired by new automatic scanning systems, 1048 Do events were selected by a pattern recognition program. They were confirmed as neutral-particle decays through visual inspection. Fragmentation p...
Measurement of charm production in antineutrino charged-current interactions Onengut, G; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01) During the years 1994-1997, the emulsion target of the CHORUS detector was exposed to the wide-band neutrino beam of the CERN SPS collecting about 10(6) neutrino interactions. A measurement of (nu) over bar (mu)-induced charm production is performed by using the presence of a 5% (nu) over bar (mu) component in the nu(mu) beam. The measurement takes advantage of the capability to observe the decay topology in the emulsion. The analysis is based on a sample of charged-current interactions with at least one id...
Measurement of charm production in neutrino charged-current interactions Kayis-Topaksu, A.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2011-09-01) The nuclear emulsion target of the CHORUS detector was exposed to the wide-band neutrino beam of the CERN SPS of 27 GeV average neutrino energy from 1994 to 1997. In total, about 100 000 charged-current (CC) neutrino interactions with at least one identified muon were located in the emulsion target and fully reconstructed, using newly developed automated scanning systems. Charmed particles were searched for by a program recognizing particle decays. The observation of the decay in nuclear emulsion makes it p...
Study of neutrino interactions in the chorus experiment Çuha, Volkan; Güler, Ali Murat; Department of Physics (2006) The emulsion target of the CHORUS detector was exposed to the wide-band neutrino beam of the CERN SPS between the years 1994 and 1997. In total about 130.000 neutrino interactions were located in the nuclear emulsion target and fully reconstructed. Detailed DATA and Monte Carlo (MC) comparisons were done in order to test reliability of the detector simulation. There is reasonable agreement between DATA and MC. The ratio of deep inelastic neutral-current (NC) to the deep inelastic (DIS) charged-current(CC) $...
Measurements of D-0 production and of decay branching fractions in neutrino-nucleon scattering Onengut, G; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2005-05-05) During the years 1994-1997, the emulsion target of the CHORUS detector was exposed to the wide-band neutrino beam of the CERN SPS of 27 GeV average neutrino energy. In total about 100 000 charged-current neutrino interactions were located in the nuclear emulsion target and fully reconstructed. From this sample of events which was based on the data acquired by new automatic scanning systems, 1048 charged-current interactions with a Do in the final state were selected by a pattern recognition program and conf...
