Evidence for the leptonic neutral current reaction overlineνμ+ e-→ overlineνμ+ e-
Abstract
In the Gargamelle neutrino experiment, three unambiguous candidates for the reaction overlineνμ+ e-→ overlineνμe- have been observed corresponding to a cross section for a recoil electron energy within the range 0.3 < E e- < 2.0 GeV of 0.06 × 10 -41 E overlineν ( GeV) cm2/ electron. The calculated background is 0.44 ± 0.13 events and the probability that all three candidates could be due to this background is 1%.
