Data on e * c annihilation. [l-5] in the c. m. energy range 3 < V < 13
GeV have recently been compared fairly successfully with fragmentation jet
models and Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) jet theories. However, it has
been suggested [f>-8] that in the QCD framework, due to gluon emission, the
single quark jet (the current fragments) produced in lepton-nucleon (IN) col-
lisions has different properties than the jets produced in e e collisions, while
the jet resulting from the recoiling quark-quark system (the target fragments)
will likely be more collimated than that of the single quark. Of course, in the
naive quark parton model (QPhl), a fragmenting single quark jet of a certain
flavor is expected to be the same in e^e and IN interactions. In both of these
models for fN collisions, one is also faced, with the complicatioi^of the pri-
mordial transverse momentum of the confined quarks in the nucleon. It there-
fore seems very important to experimentally compare the properties of jets
in fN and e ' e collisions.
In this paper wa present new vp charged-current data and show that the
observed jets are in fact very similar in angular size and shape to those

The data sample was obtained from exposures of the Fermilab 15-foot
hydrogen bubble chamber to a broad-band antineutrino beam. Over 90% of
the data were obtained using 400 GeV protons with focussing provided by two
magnetic horns. Data from neutrino-induced "background'1 events in the ex-
periment were also analyzed hnd are displayed in some of the distributions

cessed. Neutral particles ard in general not detected in this experiment, so
