Abstract

We have found 122 charmed-particle decays among 3855 neutrino interactions located in the fiducial volume of a hybrid emulsion spectrometer installed in the Fermilab wide-band neutrino beam. We obtain an average relative charmed-particle production cross section of σ(ν_μ→cμ^-) σ(ν_μ→μ^-)=4.9_-0.6 ^+0.7%, at an average neutrino energy of 22 GeV. We also obtain a production rate of σ(ν_μ→ccν_μ) σ(ν_μ→ν_μ)=0.13_-0.11 ^+0.31%, if we assume that there was an undetected muon, a limit of σ(ν_μ→ccμ^-) σ(ν_μ→cμ^-)<3% (90%CL) can be obtained. Other cross section ratios and limits are also presented.
