A study of backward going protons and negative pions in neutrino(mu) CC interactions with the NOMAD detector

Backward proton and π− production has been studied in νμ CC interactions with carbon nuclei.
Detailed analyses of the momentum distributions, of the production rates, and of the general features
of events with a backward going particle, 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.
