Description

We have searched for {anti {nu}}{sub e} from {mu}{sup +}{yields}e{sup +}{anti {nu}}{sub e}{nu}{sub {mu}} allowed by multiplicative but not additive muon conservation, and for {nu}{sub e} from {mu}{sup +}{yields}e{sup +}{nu}{sub e}{anti {nu}}{sub {mu}}, allowed by both. We used neutrinos from LAMPF and a six-ton Cerenkov counter filled with H{sub 2}O to look for {anti {nu}}{sub e}p{yields}ne{sup +} and filled with D{sub 2}O to look for {nu}{sub e}d{yields}ppe{sup -} . Our branching ratio ({mu}{sup +}{yields}e{sup +}{anti {nu}}{sub e}{nu}{sub {mu}})/({mu}{sup +}{yields}all) =-0.001 ± 0.040 is in excellent agreement with the additive law. Our cross section <{sigma}({nu}{sub e}d{yields}ppe{sup -})> = (0.52 ± 0.18) ... continued below
