A search for Muon-Associated Neutrino--->electron-Associated neutrino oscillations

Abstract

dc:description

In an experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory we have searched for neutrino oscillations of the type \nu\sbμ \to \nu\sb{e}. The detector is 1 kilometer from the proton target and was exposed to a narrow band beam with peak energies of 1.25 and 1.45 GeV. We observe 54 electron events with a background of 31.6 $\pm$ 5.6 $\pm$ 4.4. The observed excess of electron events is consistent with oscillations at the level 1.8 $\pm$.8 $\pm$.4%.
