23 Event nature and invariant mass reconstruction - 7 prongs at the primary vertex: 4 identified hadrons and 3 with a probability < 0.1% of being a muon - The parent track exhibits a kink topology and the daughter is identified as a hadron through its interaction. Its impact parameter w.r.t. the primary vertex is (55 ± 4) μm where it is smaller than 7 μm for the other tracks -Two γ-rays point to the secondary vertex. The event passes all the selection cuts defined in the experiment proposal - Invariantmassofthetwoγ-rays: 120 ± 20 (stat.) ± 35(syst.) MeV/c2 (consistent with the p0 mass) - Together with the secondary hadron assumed to be a p they have an invariant mass of 640 MeV/c2 - The decay mode is compatible with:, nt( 770 ) ρ t the branching ratio of which is ~ 25% 23 23

25 Background estimation Estimation obtained from MC simulation (brick finding, scanning CS films, track connection from CS to brick, track following, vertex reconstruction) MC was validated with the help of: - OPERA data - pion test beam (interactions of primary hadrons) - CHORUS measurements (charmed meson production) 25 25
26 Charm background Charmed particles have similar decay topologies to the t n m,e m,e - m + D + e + h + primary lepton misidentified Charm production in CC events represents a background source to all tau decay channels -- ~ 95% of this background can be suppressed by identifying the primary lepton by electronic detector -- ~ 1.5% of this background can be suppressed from track follow-down: - topology of their endpoint; - range-momentum correlation; - energy loss measurement in the last fraction of their range. 26

31 Summary The Collaboration has completed the study of 92% of the neutrino data taken in the CNGS beam in the runs One muonless event showing a t 1-prong hadron decay topology has been detected and studied in details. It passes all kinematical cuts required to reduce the physics background The observation so far of a single n t candidate event is compatible with the expectation of 1.65 signal events. The significance of the observation of one decay in the t h channel is 95% This result is an important step towards the first detection of neutrino oscillations in direct appearance mode in the n m n t channel, the n t signature being the identification of the t -lepton created in its charged current interaction
