Competition from the. nu. /sub e/ /sup 208/Pb. -->. /sup 208/Bi e/sup -/ reaction in a search for. nu. /sub. mu. /-bar. -->. nu. /sub e/-bar oscillation

Inverse beta-decay reactions produced by electron neutrinos may compete with muon neutrino reactions in experiments utilizing the neutrino flux from a beam stop. The cross section and angular distribution for one such reaction, ..nu../sub e/ /sup 208/Pb ..-->.. /sup 208/Bi e/sup -/, have been calculated with the aid of the results of an investigation of /sup 208/Pb (p,n)/sup 208/Bi at low momentum transfer. The implications of this reaction on an experiment to study neutrino oscillation are discussed. 2 figures.
