Review of recent results from NOMAD and CHORUS

NOMAD and CHORUS are two short baseline neutrino oscillation experiments searching for nu /sub mu / to nu /sub tau / oscillations in the CERN SPS wide band neutrino beam. CHORUS has analysed about 60% of the data and finds no tau /sup -/ candidate. A limit is set at P/sub osc/( nu /sub mu / to nu /s...

Sumario:NOMAD and CHORUS are two short baseline neutrino oscillation experiments searching for nu /sub mu / to nu /sub tau / oscillations in the CERN SPS wide band neutrino beam. CHORUS has analysed about 60% of the data and finds no tau /sup -/ candidate. A limit is set at P/sub osc/( nu /sub mu / to nu /sub tau /)<4.0*10/sup -4/ (90% C.L.). NOMAD has almost finished the analysis and sees no excess of events. A limit is set at P/sub osc/( nu /sub mu / to nu /sub tau /)<4.2*10 /sup -4/ (90% C.L.). Combining this two results with the unified approach one can set a limit at P/sub osc/( nu /sub mu / to nu /sub tau /)<1.3*10/sup -4/. (7 refs).
