Abstract:

We propose a detailed channel study of neutrino interactions on protons and neutrons. To accomplish this we request a run using at least 200 BeV internal machine energy to obtain 50,000 events in a deuterium-filled track sensitive target surrounded by neon. Using current flux estimates from a double horn focusing system and assuming 10 (13) interacting protons per pulse, the run of 50,000 events in deuterium would be obtainable with 500,000 pictures of the 14-foot bubble chamber. The neutrino flux is limited by the acceptable event rate in the neon.
