Search for nu(mu)-->nu(e) Oscillations in the NOMAD Experiment

Abstract

We present the results of a search for nu(mu)-->nu(e) oscillations in the NOMAD experiment at CERN. The experiment looked for the appearance of nu(e) in a predominantly nu(mu) wide-band neutrino beam at the CERN SPS. No evidence for oscillations was found. The 90% confidence limits obtained are delta m2 < 0.4 eV2 for maximal mixing and sin2(2theta) < 1.4x10-3 for large delta m2. This result excludes the LSND allowed region of oscillation parameters with delta m2 > 10 eV2.
