The Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector and LAMPF Neutrino Source

摘要

A search for neutrino oscillations of the type nu_bar_mu to nu_bar_e has beenconducted at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility using nu_bar_mu from muondecay at rest. Evidence for this transition has been reported previously. Thispaper discusses in detail the experimental setup, detector operation andneutrino source, including aspects relevant to oscillation searches in the muondecay-at-rest and pion decay in flight channels.
