Research Abstract

The experiment was carried out at low energy neutrino beamline so called NuMI at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. We exposed lead-emulsion target at this beam line to accumulate neutrino interaction which only nuclear emulsion can resolve charged particle at interaction point. We have determined deep inelastic scattering fractional cross-section at few GeV energy range as 0.68+0.09-0.11(stat.)±0.02(syst.).
