Description
The CERN WA96 (NOMAD) experiment now at the building stage is aimed at detecting νμ↔ντ oscillations with a sensitivity which should lower by one order of magnitude the present limit on the mixing parameter for high mass differences. Its originality resides in the τ identification method and the use of a light, high resolution, active target. The following article briefly reviews the motivations for the search, the basic ingredients of the method and describes the apparatus and its present stage of development. (author). 7 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab
