Abstract
The first experimental estimate of the diffractive-dissociation (DD) cross section for muon-neutrino interaction with nuclei is presented. Eleven events that satisfy the DD criteria (xB 2) are found among 207 events induced by neutrino interactions with Ag and Br nuclei of nuclear photoemulsion and borrowed from the database of the E-564 experiment (FNAL). The ratio of the DD cross section to the total deep-inelastic cross section for the charged current is 0.29±0.09. Four of the 11 events proved to be candidates for events of coherent DD.
