Abstract

In this paper, we study deuteron breakup by high energy neutrinos. We present previously unpublished data on neutrino induced backward protons from deuteron targets; we calculate the contributions from both the two-nucleon (2N) and six-quark (6q) deuteron components, which depend upon the overall normalization of the part that is 6q; and, we suggest other signatures for distinguishing the 2N and 6q clusters. We conclude that the 6q cluster naturally contributes to the high momentum backward proton spectrum just in the region where the standard 2N models lie below the data, and the absolute size of the far backward data is nicely explained if the amount of 6q is one or a few percent by normalization of the deuteron.
