The Fermilab 15-ft bubble chamber, filled with a heavy neon-hydrogen mix, was exposed to a narrow-band ..nu../sub ..mu../ beam. Based on the observation of 830 charged-current ..nu../sub ..mu../ interactions, the cross section was found consistent with a linear rise with the neutrino energy in the interval 10 GeV< or =E/sub ..nu../< or approx. =240 GeV. The average slope was determined to be sigma/sub ..nu..//E/sub ..nu../ = (0.62 +- 0.05) x 10 /sup -38/ cm/sup 2/ GeV/sup -1/.
