Dilepton and trilepton production by antineutrinos and neutrinos in neon

A sample of over 25,000 fully measured neutrino and antineutrino charged current interactions in BEBC includes 192 dilepton candidates. The prompt signal after subtraction of background is 41 ±7µ⁺ e ^-, 35±7µ⁺µ^- events from \(\bar v\) interactions, and 32±7µ^-µ⁺ events from ν interactions. There are 2 trileptons, µ^-µ^- e ⁺ and µ^-µ^-µ⁺. Results are compared with other experimental data and with the standard model. Limits to prompt like sign µ⁺ e ⁺, µ⁺µ⁺ and µ^-µ^- signals are given and compared with other experiments and with theoretical calculations.
