Measurement of the BjorkenxandyDistributions in Neutral- and Charged-CurrentνμInteractions

Distributions of the Bjorken scaling variables x and y, and the structure function F/sub +/(x), are presented both for neutral-current and for charged-current ..nu../sub ..mu../ interactions. The data were obtained by use of the Fermilab 15-ft neon bubble chamber exposed to a narrow-band ..nu../sub ..mu../ beam. Results are based on 151 neutral-current and 683 charged-current events. An important feature of the neutral-current analysis is the event-by-event reconstruction of the outgoing neutrino.
