Abstract :
A method for detecting the transition νμ→ντ in long-baseline accelerator experiments, that consists in comparing the far-to-near ratios of the spectra of quasielastic CC events generated by high- and low-energy beams of muon neutrinos, is proposed. The test may be accessible to big water Cherenkov detectors and iron-scintillator calorimeters, and is limited by statistics rather than systematics. In the NuMI program with the MINOS detector, only the Δm2 values above some 4×10−3 eV2 can be probed.
