The Neutrino Oscillation
MAgnetic Detector, or NOMAD,
is an experiment designed to search for
neutrino oscillations
and to carry out a range of
other particle physics measurements.
Located at CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics)
on the Franco-Swiss border outside Geneva, it is a
collaborative effort of 21 university departments and research institutes
from 8 countries. About 160 physicists are involved, either full- or part-time,
on the project.
NOMAD took physics data from 1995 to 1998, accumulating well in excess of 1
million neutrino interactions. Analysis of this data is continuing.

Neutrino experiments
Amongst all the neutrino experiments, we single out the two that are operating in
the wide-band neutrino beam at CERN:
NOMAD itself,
and our friendly rivals,
the CHORUS collaboration (experiment WA95).
