Abstract

We present the results of a search for v_μ → v _e oscillations in the NOMAD experiment at CERN. The experiment looked for the appearance of v_e in a predominantly v_μ wide-band neutrino beam at the CERN SPS. No evidence for oscillations was found. The 90% confidence limits obtained are Δm² < 0.4 eV ² for maximal mixing and sin²(2θ) < 1.4 × 10^-3 for large Δm². This result excludes the LSND allowed region of oscillation parameters with Δm² ≳ 10 eV².

N2 - We present the results of a search for vμ → v e oscillations in the NOMAD experiment at CERN. The experiment looked for the appearance of ve in a predominantly vμ wide-band neutrino beam at the CERN SPS. No evidence for oscillations was found. The 90% confidence limits obtained are Δm2 < 0.4 eV 2 for maximal mixing and sin2(2θ) < 1.4 × 10-3 for large Δm2. This result excludes the LSND allowed region of oscillation parameters with Δm2 ≳ 10 eV2.
