Abstract

Total cross sections for the process $ν_{μ} + {}^{56}{Fe} \to μ^{-} + L^{+} + L^{0} + {}^{56}{Fe}$ have been calculated in conventional $V - A$ weak-interaction theory. For multi-GeV/ $c^{2}$ mass assignments for $L^{+}$ , the cross section is ∼ $10^{- 6}$ of the observed rate of charged-current events production by neutrinos at Fermilab. However, for $m_{L^{+}} = m_{μ^{+}}$ , and $m_{L^{0}} \sim 1 to 2$ GeV/ $c^{2}$ , the cross section is ∼ $10^{- 1}$ of the reported trimuon rates. Allowing $L^{0}$ to decay into muons + anything, we find that the leptons in the final states may be very energetic.
