Abstract
The neutrinoproduction of charged $\rho$ mesons on nuclei and nucleons is investigated for the first time at moderate energies ($<E_\nu > \approx$ 10 GeV), using the date obtained with SKAT bubble chamber. No strong nuclear effects are observed in $\rho^+$ and $\rho^-$ production. The fractions of charged and neutral pions originating from $\rho$ decays are obtained and compared with higher energy data. From analysis of the obtained and available data on $\rho^+$ and $K^{*+}$(892) neutrinoproduction, the strangeness suppression factor in the quark string fragmentation is extracted: $\lambda_s = 0.18\pm0.03$. Estimations are obtained for cross sections of quasiexclusive single $\rho^+$ and coherent $\rho^+$ neutrinoproduction on nuclei. The estimated coherent cross section $\sigma_{\rho^+}^{coh}$ = (0.29$\pm0.16)\cdot 10^{-38}$ cm$^2$ is compatible with theoretical predictions.
