摘要：

The NOMAD experiment includes a transition radiation detector that provides a 10(3) pion rejection factor, for a 90% electron identification efficiency. Such a rejection factor is required in the search for v(mu) --> v(tau) oscillations in the tau electron decay channel and in the search for v(mu) --> v(c) oscillations. Algorithms used for the electron-pion discrimination and results obtained on the data are described. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
