I. GENERAL DISCUSSION
We propose to study the interactions of high energy
neutrinos for the following purposes: (1) detection of
possible production of the intermediate vector boson W1
and/or the scalar boson Wo, (2) measurement of the rate for
(p e ) and (4 p ) lepton pair production, and (3) general
study of deeply inelastic reactions. The method involves
utilizing the NAL 15-ft cryogenic chamber and the broad
band neutrino beam with most of the exposure run at the
highest possible accelerator energy and intensity. The
chamber should be filled with neon for 900,000 pictures with
an inserted thick plate for muon detection. An additional
exposure of 100,000 pictures with the chamber filled with
hydrogen and containing the aforementioned plate as well as
a thin (1 1/2 radiation length) plate for #y detection is
also requested. This latter run will serve as a v flux
normalization as well as augment the deep inelastic study
by providing for the identification of the hadronic component
of these reactions. We would like to have 250,000 of the
neon pictures at the earliest time- possible, even if for
some reason the plate can not be inserted in the chamber
for such an early run. As will be discussed later in the
section on muon identification, a chamber full of neon
without a plate provides sufficient muon selection to make
such an early run worthwhile.
The justification of the proposed investigation
need hardly be repeated here since discussions of the
