Abstract
An experiment that looked for the oscillation vmu => ve was performed using a narrow
band ve beam produced by the AGS at Brookhaven National Lab. Both the v, and Ve
reactions in our detector are analyzed. The number of v, events found in the detector
is compared to the expected background from Monte Carlo calculations and an excess
of 22.4±5.6± 4.4 3.8 events above background is found. The excess represents a 3 standard
deviation effect and may suggest a neutrino oscillation.
The ratio of the acceptance corrected number of Ve and v, events is calculated from
the data. The value is R = ve/ vmu = 0.0184 ± .0085.
