Abstract

We propose as an addition to the conventional charm-changing charged current the V+A current P¯γμ(1γ5)N. It explains the observed enhancement of nonleptonic ΔI=12 weak decays, allows low-lying charmed hadrons to decay comparably into strange and non-strange final states, predicts the appearance of μl (as well as μl+) dilepton events in neutrino interactions, and leads to copious quasielastic charm production by neutrinos.
