چکیده
NOMAD is an experiment searching for ; (e) oscillations in the CERN Wide Band Neutrino Beam. After its completion (August 1995), the detector has performed according to expectations and has been taking data since. A preliminary analysis, based upon the event sample collected in 1995, saw no evidence for oscillations, thus setting an upper limit in the mixing angle for high m 2

Recent Results from the Nomad Experiment
NOMAD is a short baseline neutrino oscillation experiment searching for ! and ! e oscillations in the CERN SPS wide band neutrino beam. The experiment has been collecting data since July 1995 and the data taking will continue until at least the end of 1997. A preliminary analysis based on the 1995 data sample allows NOMAD to set 90% con dence limits of sin 2 < 3:4 10 3 for ! and sin 2 2 e < 2 1...
متن کاملCross-section measurements in the NOMAD experiment
The NOMAD experiment was designed to search for ντ appearance from neutrino oscillations in the CERN wide-band neutrino beam produced by the 450 GeV proton synchrotron. The single-particle reconstruction and lepton identification capability of the NOMAD detector allowed the search for ντ appearance in most of the leptonic and hadronic τ decay channels [1] and also to look for νμ → νe oscillatio...
متن کاملFirst Results from the Nomad Experiment at Cern
NOMAD is a neutrino oscillation experiment designed to search for appearance in the CERN-SPS wide band predominantly beam. Signal detection is based on the identiication of charged current interactions with the help of kinematic criteria. After the completion of the detector in August, 1995 the experiment has been successfully taking data till the end of 1995 and during 1996. The detector perfo...
متن کاملResults from the NOMAD Experiment
The NOMAD experiment has been searching for νμ ↔ ντ oscillations by looking for the appearance of τ − in events from the CERN-SPS neutrino beam. With some improvements in the analysis techniques with respect to the previous published results and including data from 1998 run, no evidence for oscillations is found, resulting in an updated limit on the oscillation probability of P (νμ ↔ ντ ) < 0.5...
متن کاملSearch for ν μ → νe oscillations in the NOMAD experiment
We present the results of a search for νμ → νe neutrino oscillations in the NOMAD experiment at CERN. The experiment looked for the appearance of νe in a predominantly νμ wide-band neutrino beam at the CERN SPS. No evidence for oscillations was found. The 90% confidence limits obtained are ∆m < 0.4 eV for maximal mixing and sin(2θ) < 1.2×10−3 for large ∆m, excluding the LSND allowed region of o...
