A search for muon neutrino to electron neutrino oscillations with the NOMAD detector at the CERN SPS
Abstract
The results of a search for the oscillation νμ /to νe with the NOMAD experiment at the CERN SPS wide band νμ beam are presented. After a total of approximately 1 × 1019 protons on target worth of data were analyzed, no evidence of excess νe production was observed. A limit of 3.2 × 10-3 on sin2(2/theta) in the high /Delta m2 limit is set at a 90% C.L. and a limit on /Delta m2 of less than 1 eV2/c4 is set for full mixing.
