Abstract
The CHORUS experiment has been designed to detect decays of tau leptons com ing from v(mu) --> v(tau) neutrino oscillation using nuclear emulsion as pr imary neutrino target. The ability for detecting decays of short-lived part icles can be used to search for charm particles produced via deep inelastic and diffractive neutrino interactions. Detection techniques and first obse rvations of charm particle decays will be reported.
