The flux of prompt neutrinos from a beam dump has been measured in an experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (E613). Assuming that the charm production has a linear dependence on atomic number and varies as (1-absolute value x)/sup 5/ e/sup -2m//sub T/, a model dependent cross section of 27 +/- 5..mu..b/nucleon can be derived. For neutrino energies greater than 20 GeV, the flux of electron neutrinos with respect to muon neutrinos is 0.78 +/- 0.19. For neutrinos with energy greater than 30 GeV and P/sub perpendicular/ > 0.2, the flux of anti-nu/sub ..mu../ compared too nu/sub ..mu../ is 0.96 +/- .22.
