Abstract

We present an analysis of 153 events of the reaction νp→μ−π+p at an average neutrino energy of 1 GeV. The results were obtained using the Argonne 12-ft hydrogen bubble chamber. The reaction is dominated by μ−Δ++(1236) production for which the total cross section rises from threshold to a value of (0.74±0.18)×10−38 cm2 at Eν≳1.0 GeV. The production and decay angular distributions of the Δ++ are given. There is no evidence for hadron-lepton mass enhancements.
