Abstract
This work reports the different steps allowing a better comprehension of the background components of the Bugey III experiment searching for neutrino oscillations at the reactor 5 of the Bugey nuclear plant. Several means have been used in order to suppress the background: eliminate a potential background source (changing the liquid scintillator), reject the events associated with the cosmic muons and measure the accidental component during the experiment simultaneously with the signal. The identification and follow up of the different background components have been used to define the selecting criteria of neutrino events among all background components. The neutrino signal associated with the reactor 4 at 95 meters has been measured and compared to that associated with the reactor 5 at 15 meters. The exclusion contour obtained from this comparison pushed the limits of squared mass differences down to 2 10{sup -2e}V{sup 2}.
