Abstract
- NOMAD is a neutrino oscillation experiment designed to search for nu_tau appearance in the CERN-SPS wide band ni_mu beam. Signal detection relies on the identification of nu_tau charge d current interactions using kinematic criteria. The analysis of the 1995 data sample yields no oscillation signal. Combining all studied tau decay modes, a limit of sin^2 2theta_mu tau=4.2x10^-3 is obtained for large Delta m^2 at the 90percent confidence level.
