Experimental Limits on Neutrino Oscillations

Abstract

A search for neutrino oscillations in a wide-band neutrino beam at Fermilab with use of the 15-ft bubble chamber is reported. No evidence is found for neutrino oscillations and upper limits are set on the mixing angles and neutrino mass differences in the transitions ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{e}$, ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\tau}}$, and ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{e}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{^{\ensuremath{\sim}}e}$, where $\ensuremath{\sim}e$ denotes "not $e$."
