Abstract
The CERN short baseline program, designed to search for nu(mu) --> nu(tau) oscillations, was carried out by two experiments using very different approaches: CHORUS, aiming at the direct observation of the tau decay in emulsion, and NOMAD, based on the indirect kinematical selection with an electronic detector. A review of the two experiments and of their tau appearance search, giving no evidence for neutrino oscillations, is presented here. The preliminary results of a search for nu(mu) --> nu(e) oscillations in the NOMAD experiment axe also reported, excluding the parameter region of LSND in the range Deltam(2) > 10 eV(2).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
