Abstract: (Elsevier)
An analysis of the transverse momentum distributions of secondary hadrons produced in neutrino-proton charged current interactions is presented. It is found thatparticles going forward in the hadronic c.m.s. have a different behaviour from those going backward. A rise of the average transverse momentum squared as a function of both the invariant mass of the hadronic system and the fractional energy carried by the hadron in the c.m. frame, is observed. The result is not in good agreement with the predictions of a QCD based model if the non-perturbative parts are forward-backward symmetric. Using events with no missing neutral particles in the final state the average primordial transverse momentum squared of the quark inside the nucleon is estimated to be ∼0.3 GeV 2 / c 2 .- NEUTRINO P: DEEP INELASTIC SCATTERING
