Abstract
In this article we construct new minimal intersection sets in \(\mathrm {AG}(r,q^2)\) sporting three intersection numbers with hyperplanes; we then use these sets to obtain linear error correcting codes with few weights, whose weight enumerator we also determine. Furthermore, we provide a new family of three-character multisets in \(\mathrm {PG}(r,q^2)\) with r even and we also compute their weight distribution.
