Muon-neutrino and -antineutrino scattering off electrons was detected in a 19-ton Al spark chamber, exposed to the wide-band ν (ν¯) beam from the CERN proton synchrotron. The background was determined experimentally. 11 (10) genuine νμ− (ν¯μ−) e scattering events were found. The respective cross sections are (1.1±0.6)×10−42(Eν/GeV) cm2 and (2.2±1.0)×10−42(Eν/GeV) cm2. The analysis excludes a pure V−A interaction, and makes a pure V or A theory improbable. The data agree well with the Salam-Weinberg model and sin2θW=0.35±0.08.
