摘要
Muon neutrinos produced as a result of cosmic-rav interactions with the atmosphere are used to search for nu(mu) oscillations into nu(tau) by comparing the measured rate of upward-going muons in the Irvine-Michigan-Brookhaven detector with the expected rate. In addition, the ratio of upward-going muons which stop in the detector to those which exit is used to search for deviations from the expected spectrum. This latter technique is free of flux and cross-section normalization uncertainties. No evidence for oscillations is found. 90% C.L. limits on delta-m2 are derived in the range (1-2) x 10(-4) eV2 for sin(2)2-theta > 0.5.
