Abstract

A first result of the search for ν_μ → ν_e oscillations in the OPERA experiment, located at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory, is presented. The experiment looked for the appearance of ν_e in the CNGS neutrino beam using the data collected in 2008 and 2009. Data are compatible with the non-oscillation hypothesis in the three-flavour mixing model. A further analysis of the same data constrains the non-standard oscillation parameters θ_new and Δm _new ² suggested by the LSND and MiniBooNE experiments. For large Δ Δm_new ² values (>0.1 eV ²), the OPERA 90% C.L. upper limit on sin²(2θ _new) based on a Bayesian statistical method reaches the value 7.2 × 10^-3.
