Search For Muon-associated Neutrino---> Electron-associated Neutrino Oscillations In A Narrow Band Neutrino Beam
Abstract
dc:descriptionAn experiment that looked for the oscillation \nu\sbμ \Rightarrow \nu\sb{e} was performed using a narrow band \nu\sbμ beam produced by the AGS at Brookhaven National Lab. Both the \nu\sbμ and $\nu\sb{e}$ reactions in our detector are analyzed. The number of $\nu\sb{e}$ events found in the detector is compared to the expected background from Monte Carlo calculations and an excess of 22.4 $\pm$ 5.6 $\pm$ $\sbsp{3.8}{4.4}$ events above background is found. The excess represents a 3 standard deviation effect and may suggest a neutrino oscillation.
