Study of the delta^{++}(1232) inclusive neutrinoproduction on protons and neutrons

For the first time, the total yield and inclusive spectra of the $Delta^{++}(1232)$isobar are measured in $ u p$ and $ u n$ charged-current interactions. An indication is obtained that the $Delta^{++}(1232)$ production mainly results from the neutrino scattering on the valence d- quark of the target nucleon. The total yield of $Delta^{++}(1232)$ in $ u p$ interactions is compatible with that measured in hadronic interactions of the same net charge and net baryonic number. The yield of $Delta^{++}(1232)$ in $ u n$ interactions is significantly suppressed as compared to the case of the proton target. The form of the squared transverse momentum distributions, both in $ u p$ and $ u n$ interactions, is found to be compatible with the available data on the neutrinoproduction of $Lambda$ hyperon. The experimental data are compared with the LEPTO6.5 model predictions.
