Description

The ratio R of muon neutrino-electron and antineutrino-electron cross sections has been determined based on a sample of 46 +- 12 neutrino events and 77 +- 19 antineutrino events obtained in the CHARM fine-grain calorimeter using the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron horn-focused wide-band beams. The experimental result is R = 1.37sub(-0.44)sup(+0.65), corresponding to a value of sin2THETAsub(w) = 0.215 +- 0.040. The systematic error of sin2THETAsub(w) is estimated to be +- 0.015. (orig.)
