The OPERA experiment was designed to search for nu(mu) -> nu(tau) oscillations in appearance mode through the direct observation of tau neutrinos in the CNGS neutrino beam. In this paper, we report a study of the multiplicity of charged particles produced in charged-current neutrino interactions in lead. We present charged hadron average multiplicities, their dispersion and investigate the KNO scaling in different kinematical regions. The results are presented in detail in the form of tables that can be used in the validation of Monte Carlo generators of neutrino-lead interactions.

Discovery of tau Neutrino Appearance in the CNGS Neutrino Beam with the OPERA Experiment Agafonova, N.; et. al. (2015-09-01) The OPERA experiment was designed to search for nu(mu) -> nu(tau) oscillations in appearance mode, i.e., by detecting the tau leptons produced in charged current nu(tau) interactions. The experiment took data from 2008 to 2012 in the CERN Neutrinos to Gran Sasso beam. The observation of the nu(mu) -> nu(tau) appearance, achieved with four candidate events in a subsample of the data, was previously reported. In this Letter, a fifth nu(tau) candidate event, found in an enlarged data sample, is described. Toge...
First observation of a tau neutrino charged current interaction with charm production in the OPERA experiment OPERA Collaboration Agafonova, N.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-01) An event topology with two secondary vertices compatible with the decay of short-lived particles was found in the analysis of neutrino interactions in the OPERA target. The observed topology is compatible with tau neutrino charged current (CC) interactions with charm production and neutrino neutral current (NC) interactions with cc pair production. However, other processes can mimic this topology. A dedicated analysis was implemented to identify the underlying process. A Monte Carlo simulation was developed...
Observation of tau neutrino appearance in the CNGS beam with the OPERA experiment Agafonova, N.; et. al. (2014-10-01) The OPERA experiment is searching for nu(mu) -> nu(tau) oscillations in appearance mode, i.e., via the direct detection of tau leptons in nu(tau) charged-current interactions. The evidence of nu(mu) -> nu(tau) appearance has been previously reported with three nu(tau) candidate events using a sub-sample of data from the 2008-2012 runs. We report here a fourth nu(tau) candidate event, with the tau decaying into a hadron, found after adding the 2012 run events without any muon in the final state to the data s...
Evidence for nu(mu) -> nu(tau) appearance in the CNGS neutrino beam with the OPERA experiment Agafonova, N.; et. al. (2014-03-01) The OPERA experiment is designed to search for nu(mu) -> nu(tau) oscillations in appearance mode, i.e., through the direct observation of the tau lepton in nu(tau)- charged current interactions. The experiment has taken data for five years, since 2008, with the CERN Neutrino to Gran Sasso beam. Previously, two nu(tau) candidates with a t decaying into hadrons were observed in a subsample of data of the 2008-2011 runs. Here we report the observation of a third nu(tau) candidate in the tau(-) -> mu(-) decay c...
Probing color coherence effects in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-06-01) A study of color coherence effects in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 is presented. The data used in the analysis were collected in 2010 with the CMS detector at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb. Events are selected that contain at least three jets and where the two jets with the largest transverse momentum exhibit a back-to-back topology. The measured angular correlation between the second- and third-leading jet is shown to be sensitive to color coherence effects, a...
