Description

Backward emitted protons with momentum p>0.3 GeV/c in interactions of neutrino in the energy range 10-200 GeV with photoemulsion nuclei were investigated. Energy spectrum slope parameter of backward protons was measured to be T0=48.9±7.9 MeV. The A-dependence power index of relative mean yield of backward protons was found to be a=0.68±0.12. A drop in the mean yield of backward protons at the four momentum squared over ∝15 (GeV/c)2 (the neutrino energy over ∝50 GeV) was observed. (orig.)
