Abstract

The energy dependence of the cross section for neutrino- and antineutrino-nucleon charged-current interactions has been determined from data taken in Fermilab's dichromatic neutrino beam.

\frac{σ^{ν}}{E} = (0.669 \pm 0.003 \pm 0.024) \times 10^{- 38}

/GeV and

\frac{σ^{\bar{ν}}}{E} = (0.340 \pm 0.003 \pm 0.02) \times 10^{- 38}

{cm}^{2}

/GeV are found. These results are higher than some previous measurements.
