Neutrino flux and total charged-current cross sections in high-energy neutrino-deuterium interactions

From 12 000 charged-current ..nu../sub ..mu../D events obtained in an exposure of the Fermilab 15-ft bubble chamber to a high-energy wide-band neutrino beam, the absolute neutrino flux is determined using the reaction ..nu../sub ..mu../n..--> mu../sup -/p. For the total charged-current cross section, sigma/sub t/ = kE/sub ..nu../, k = (0.68 +- 0.04 +- 0.10) x 10/sup -38/ cm/sup 2//GeV is obtained for E/sub ..nu../ between 10 and 200 GeV. No clear energy dependence of the slope parameter k is observed.
