Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 011804 (2002) [4 pages]Search for νμ→νe and ν̅ μ→ν̅ e Oscillations at NuTeVReceived 12 March 2002; published 14 June 2002 Limits on νμ→νe and ν̅ μ→ν̅ e oscillations are extracted using the NuTeV detector with sign-selected νμ and ν̅ μ beams. In ν̅ μ mode, for the case of sin22α = 1, Δm2>2.6 eV2 is excluded, and for Δm2≫1000 eV2, sin22α>1.1×10-3. The NuTeV data exclude the high Δm2 end of ν̅ μ→ν̅ e oscillation parameters favored by the LSND experiment without the need to assume that the oscillation parameters for ν and ν̅ are the same. We present the most stringent experimental limits for νμ(ν̅ μ)→νe(ν̅ e) oscillations in the large Δm2 region. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
