Garvey, G T

There are three neutrino experiments at LAMPF in various stages of completion or development. E225, the study of electron-neutrino electron scattering, which completed data taking in December 1986 and has just about completed all its analysis. E645, a search for /bar /nu///sub ..mu../ ..-->.. /bar /nu///sub e/ oscillation, is in its third and final year of data taking. The Large Cerenkov Detector (LCD), associated with E1015, has undergone extensive scientific and technical review and we are presently trying to obtain the necessary funds to build the detector, beam line, and target. In the following, each of these experiments will be briefly discussed. Before doing so, it is useful to show the characteristics of the neutrino spectrum resulting from the decay of ..pi../sup +/ at rest. It is also useful to realize that, on average, an 800-MeV proton from LAMPF produces about 0.1 ..pi../sup +/ decaying at rest. 16 refs., 5 figs., 4 tabs.
