Description

Charm production by neutrino charged-current interactions produces two muon (dimuon) events which are easily identified. This signal provides an important method to measure the strange sea and the mass of the charm quark. Several experiments, including CCFR, CDHS and CHARM II, have performed analyses of such events. The results of these analyses are summarized with emphasis on CCFR and improvements made by NuTeV
