Abstract
The production of hadrons in charged-current (anti)neutrino interactio ns is studied with the bubble chamber BEBC exposed to the CERN (anti)n eutrino wide-band beam. Fast-hadron production in a neon target is fou nd to be attenuated as compared to that in a hydrogen target. This fea ture is discussed within theoretical models based on the idea of a had ron formation length. The experimental results favour the 'constituent ' over the 'yo-yo' length concept, and suggest a quark cross section i n the order of 3 mb.
