In this paper, we shall study double-boson-exchange processes in the reactions ${\nu }_{\mu }{e}^{-}\to {\mu }^{-}{e}^{+}{e}^{-}{\nu }_e$, ${\nu }_{\mu }{e}^{-}\to {\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}{e}^{-}{\nu }_{\mu }$, and ${\nu }_{\mu }{e}^{-}\to {\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}{\mu }^{-}{\nu }_e$, using the standard Weinberg-Salam SU(2)×U(1) model of electroweak interactions. At neutrino laboratory energy ∼ 100 GeV, the cross section for the first reaction is ∼3×${10}^{-44\mathrm{}}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^2$. This reaction may be observable with experimental facilities in the near future. It could serve as a useful tool for distinguishing the Weinberg-Salam model from other models of electroweak interactions.
