摘要:During the years 1994.97, 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 with at least one identied muon were located in
the nuclear emulsion target and fully reconstructed, using newly developed automatic scanning
systems. Charmed particles were searched for by a program recognizing particle decays. This
technique, based on the observation of the decay in nuclear emulsion, allows the selection of a
sample with very low background and minimal kinematical bias. 2013 charged-current interactions
with a charmed hadron in the nal state were selected and conrmed through visual inspection.
Some of the CHORUS measurements and their implications for future neutrino experiments
are discussed in this paper.
