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 to rise linearly with the neutrino energy in the interval, 10 GeV less than or equal to E/sub nu/ less than or equal to 240 GeV, with a constant slope of: sigma/sub nu/E/sub nu/ = (0.64 +- 0.05) 10/sup -38/ cm/sup 2/ GeV/sup -1/. This result is discussed in relation to other experiments.
