/ Abstract
Neutrino deep-inelastic scattering provides a means to study both the strange and charm content of the nucleon. The NuTeV experiment (Fermilab E-8Neutrino deep-inelastic scattering provides a means to study both the strange and charm content of the nucleon. The NuTeV experiment (Fermilab E-815) takes full advantage of separated neutrino and anti-neutrino beams to probe the nucleon. The strange sea is studied with charged-current charm production resulting in an opposite-signed two muon final state. The charm content of the nucleon is probed via neutral-current charm production creating an event with a single wrong-signed muon. Preliminary results are presented for both analyses.
