Abstract

The MiniBooNE Collaboration reports first results of a search for νe appearance in a νμ beam. With two largely independent analyses, we observe no significant excess of events above the background for reconstructed neutrino energies above 475MeV. The data are consistent with no oscillations within a two-neutrino appearance-only oscillation model. © 2007 The American Physical Society.
