O'Brien, Edward John 2015-05-13T15:41:57Z 2015-05-13T15:41:57Z 10000-01-01 1987 1987 An experiment that looked for the oscillation $\nu\sb\mu \Rightarrow \nu\sb{e}$ was performed using a narrow band $\nu\sb\mu$ beam produced by the AGS at Brookhaven National Lab. Both the $\nu\sb\mu$ and $\nu\sb{e}$ reactions in our detector are analyzed. The number of $\nu\sb{e}$ events found in the detector is compared to the expected background from Monte Carlo calculations and an excess of 22.4 $\pm$ 5.6 $\pm$ $\sbsp{3.8}{4.4}$ 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 $\nu\sb{e}$ and $\nu\sb\mu$ events is calculated from the data. The value is ${\cal R}$ = ${\nu\sb{e}\over \nu\sb\mu}$ = 0.0184 $\pm$.0085.
