Contributions of vector-meson dominance to charmed-meson production in inelastic neutrino and antineutrino interactions

We discuss the contribution to neutrino-hadron interaction due to F* dominance of the weak vector current, and we give quantitative estimates of the x and y distributions for the deep-inelastic cross section at various energies. Other contributions, such as the nonresonant continuum and axial-vector terms, have been qualitatively discussed as well. We compare our results with experimental data on single-muon and dimuon production. We also calculate the diffractive, "elastic" F* production cross section.
