Abstract
| After completion of the data taking for the $\nu_\mu\to\nu_\tau$ oscillation search, the CHORUS lead--scintillator calorimeter was used in the 1998 run as an active target. High-statistics samples of charged-current interactions were collected in the CERN SPS west area neutrino beam. This beam contained predominantly muon (anti-)neutrinos from sign-selected pions and kaons. We measure the flux and energy spectrum of the incident neutrinos and compare them with beam simulations. The neutrino-nucleon and anti-neutrino-nucleon differential cross-sections are measured in the range 0.01<x<0.7, 0.05<y<0.95, 10<E_\nu<200 GeV. We extract the neutrino-nucleon structure functions $F_2(x,Q^2)$, $xF_3(x,Q^2)$, and $R(x,Q^2)$ and compare these with results from other experiments. |
