Abstract: (APS)
We present measured distributions in the scaling variables x and y obtained from the reactions νμ(ν¯μ)+nucleon→μ−(μ+)+hadrons at high energy. The x distributions are consistent with scale invariance. The x and y distributions are used to perform the first test of charge-symmetry invariance in high-energy neutrino interactions, assuming the validity of scale invariance. A possible effective deviation from charge-symmetry invariance is observed, which could be the result of new particle production.
