Abstract
We present evidence for the diffractive processes nu(mu)Fe-->mu(-)D(s)(+)(D *(s))Fe and <(nu)over bar>Fe-mu-->mu(+)D(s)(-)(D*(s))Fe using the Fermilab SSQT neutrino beam and the Lab E neutrino detector. The data are consistent with standard model production of the neutrino trident reactions nu(mu)Fe- ->nu(mu)mu(-)mu(+)Fe and <(nu)over bar>Fe-mu--><(nu)over bar>(mu)mu(+)mu(-) Fe. We see no evidence for neutral-current production of J/psi via either d iffractive or deep inelastic scattering mechanisms.
