A study of nuclear effects in $\nu$ interactions with the NOMAD detector

Abstract

Nuclear effects in \numucc interactions with carbon nuclei have been studied by using backward going protons and $\pi^-$. Detailed analyses, of the momentum distributions and of the production rates, have been carried out in order to understand the mechanism producing these particles. The backward proton data have been compared with the predictions of the reinteraction and the short range correlation models.
