摘要

在洛斯阿拉莫斯介子物理设施,利用静止 μ+\mu^+ 衰变产生的 νˉμ\bar\nu_\mu 进行了 νˉμνˉe\bar\nu_{\mu}\to \bar\nu_{e} 振荡的搜寻。νˉe\bar\nu_e 通过反应 νˉepe+n\bar\nu_e\,p \rightarrow e^{+}\,n 被探测,并与来自 npdγnp\rightarrow d\gamma2.2MeV2.2\,{\rm MeV})的 γ\gamma 相关。使用严格截断来鉴别带有相关 γ\gamma 射线的 e+e^+ 事件,得到22个 e+e^+ 能量在36和 60MeV60\,{\rm MeV} 之间的事件,而本底事件仅 4.6±0.64.6 \pm 0.6。对20至 60MeV60\,{\rm MeV} 之间的 e+e^+ 事件拟合得到总超出 51.816.9+18.7±8.051.8^{+18.7}_{-16.9} \pm 8.0 个事件。若归因于 νˉμνˉe\bar \nu_\mu \rightarrow \bar \nu_e 振荡,则对应于振荡概率(0.310.10+0.11±0.050.31^{+0.11}_{-0.10} \pm 0.05)\%。
