We have measured the cross-section for the exclusive reaction, /sup 12/C(..nu../sub e/,e/sup /minus//)/sup 12/N(g.s.). The experiment was performed with a 15 ton fine-grained tracking detector exposed to ..nu../sub e/'s with equivalent energy of 37 MeV. The detector was triggered by single electrons and the exclusive inverse-beta reaction identified by the delayed coincidence of the /sup 12/N(gs) positron-decay. The flux averaged cross-section was measured to be (1.18 +- 0.11(stat) +- 0.13(sys)) /times/ 10/sup /minus/41/ cm/sup 2/. This result is compared to recent calculations. 3 refs., 1 fig.
