1 - Neutrino Oscillations

[1-1]: Search for $\nu_\mu -> \nu_e$ Oscillations in the NOMAD Experiment, Astier, P. et al. (NOMAD), Phys. Lett. B570 (2003) 19-31, arXiv:hep-ex/0306037.
From the 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 $\Delta{m}^2 < 0.4 \mathrm{eV}^2$ for maximal mixing and $\sin^2 2\theta < 1.4 \times 10^{-3}$ for large $\Delta{m}^2$ . This result excludes the LSND allowed region of oscillation parameters with $\Delta{m}^2 \gtrsim 10 \mathrm{eV}^2$ .
Comment: Figure 8 shows the Nomad excluded region at 90% CL (2 d.o.f) in $(\sin^2 2\theta_{\mu e},\Delta m^2)$ space, together with results from other experiments. [M.L.].
