Abstract

We have measured elastic νμ and ν¯μ scattering on protons at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. We find RNC=σ(ν¯μp→ν¯μp)σ(νμp→νμp)=0.44±0.12 and Rνμ=σ(νμp→νμp)σ(νμn→μ−p)=0.11±0.03. The elastic Q2 distribution is in good agreement with present knowledge of form factors and the Weinberg-Salam model. We find sin2θW=0.26±0.06.
