The NOMAD experiment is a short baseline 1/, appearance search, using a
kinematic method to identify the decay of tau leptons produced in 1/7- + N ——>
7" +X interactions, above a background due to neutral— and charged—current
interactions of other neutrino species. A search for “three prong” tau decays
in the NOMAD data is developed, based on a fundamental analysis of the
kinematics of such decays, and the neutral current background.The NOMAD experiment is a short baseline 1/, appearance search, using a
