| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Until today, four clear tau neutrino events have been detected. The existence of the neutrino oscillation, i.e. muon-neutrino to tau-neutrino, has been confirmed with the statistical significance of 4.2sigma. In one of the detected event, the decay daughter was identified as muon with minus charge. This means that the event is tau-neutrino event not the anti-tau-neutrino event. By this fact, it is confirmed with 98% probability that muon-neutrino oscillate to tau-neutrino (not anti-tau neutrino). The search of electron- neutrino has been tried and 19 events was identified with 21.3 expectation. This result gave an upper limit on the osicllation parameter theta13 and gave limitation on the oscillation parameter region of LNSD claimed oscillation.
