The observed nuclear effects are explained by the Fermi-motion of the target proton and secondary elastic scattering of neutrinoproduced hadrons on intranuclear neutrons. The probability of any intranuclear interaction of neutrinoproduced hadrons is extracted: P_int = 0.40+-0.13, while the probability of interactions occurring only via elastic scattering on intranuclear neutrons is estimated to be P_c = 0.14+-0.05. A clear evidence of the \\Delta^{++}(1232) and an indication on the \\Delta^{++}(1620) isobar states production are observed with the mean yields, respectively, 0.57+-0.09 and 0.40+-0.26 (the latter being corrected for the p \\pi^+ decay fraction). The mean yield of \\Delta^{++}(1232) is by 1.61+-0.25 times smaller than expected for the reaction on the hydrogen target, thus indicating on its rather strong nuclear absorption.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-01-15T07:28:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nuclear effects", "bound protons", "intranuclear neutrons", "mean yield", "composite nuclear target" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 884463, "adsabs": "2011arXiv1101.2950A" } } }
