Abstract
The WA95/CHORUS experiment at CERN is a dedicated nu(mu)-nu(tau) oscil lation search experiment. Using the wide band neutrino beam of the CER N-SPS accelerator, with an exposure of 2.4 X 10(19) protons on the tar get, this experiment will explore the domain of small mixing angles do wn to sin(2) 2 theta(mu tau) approximate to 3 X 10(-4) for mass differ ences Delta m(2) > 1 eV(2), more than one order of magnitude better th an the current limits. The conceptual design of the CHORUS experiment and data on the detector performances are reported.
