Abstract
The diffractive production of charmed strange D(s) and possibly D(s) mesons by neutrinos and antineutrinos on nucleons in hydrogen, deuteri um and neon targets is observed. The slope parameter of the t distribu tion is 3.3 +/- 0.8 (GeV)-2. The production rate per charged current n eutrino interaction with an isoscalar target times the D(s)+ --> phipi + branching fraction is (1.03 +/- 0.27) x 10(-4).
