We report the first precision measurements of the scaled momentum, the charge multiplicity, and the thrust of hadronic jets in the Breit frame in Deep Inelastic Scattering ν μ N and ν ̄ μ N charged current events over the Q 2 range from 1 to 100 GeV 2. The neutrino data, obtained in the NOMAD experiment at the CERN SPS, extend the Q 2-evolution of these parameters by two orders of magnitude, and with commensurate precision, when compared to those reported by the ep and e +e − experiments.
