A search for neutrino oscillations in a muon neutrino beam
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis is a report on a search for \nu\sb{μ}\to\nu\sb{e} oscillations using the E776 detector at Brookhaven National Laboratory with Professor T. A. O'Halloran as my advisor. The detector consisted of a large fiducial mass electromagnetic calorimeter followed by a toroidal muon spectrometer and was located 1 km from the target at the AGS. 1.43 $\times$ 10$\sp{19}$ protons on target were collected in the wide band beam with a peak neutrino energy of 1.1 GeV. No evidence for neutrino oscillations was observed. The 90% confidence limits obtained are \Delta m\sp2\leq0.107 eV\sp2 for large mixing angle, and sin\sp2 2θ\leq 7.7 $\times$ 10$\sp{-3}$ in the limit of large \Delta m\sp2.
