Abstract
The OPERA neutrino detector in the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS) has been designed to perform the first detection of neutrino oscillations in direct appearance mode through the study of the vμ → vτ channel. The hybrid apparatus consists of an emulsion/lead target complemented by electronic detectors and it is placed in the high energy long-baseline CERN to LNGS beam (CNGS) 730 km away from the neutrino source. Runs with CNGS neutrinos were successfully carried out in 2008 and 2009. After a brief description of the beam, the experimental setup and the procedures used for the analysis of the neutrino events, we describe the topology and kinematics of a first candidate vτ charged-current event satisfying the kinematical selection criteria. The background calculations and their cross-check are explained in detail and the significance of the event is assessed.

Runs with CNGS neutrinos were successfully carried out in 2008 and 2009. After a brief description of the beam, the experimental setup and the procedures used for the analysis of the neutrino events, we describe the topology and kinematics of a first candidate v<sub>τ</sub> charged-current event satisfying the kinematical selection criteria. The background calculations and their cross-check are explained in detail and the significance of the event is assessed.</s0></fC01><fC02 i1="01" i2="3"><s0>001B00</s0></fC02><fC02 i1="02" i2="3"><s0>001B20</s0></fC02><fC02 i1="03" i2="3"><s0>001B10</s0></fC02><fC03 i1="01" i2="3" l="FRE"><s0>Neutrino</s0><s5>26</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="01" i2="3" l="ENG"><s0>Neutrinos</s0><s5>26</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="02" i2="3" l="FRE"><s0>Détection neutrino</s0><s5>27</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="02" i2="3" l="ENG"><s0>Neutrino detection</s0><s5>27</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="03" i2="3" l="FRE"><s0>Oscillation neutrino</s0><s5>28</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="03" i2="3" l="ENG"><s0>Neutrino oscillations</s0><s5>28</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="04" i2="3" l="FRE"><s0>CERN</s0><s5>29</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="04" i2="3" l="ENG"><s0>CERN</s0><s5>29</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="05" i2="3" l="FRE"><s0>Topologie</s0><s5>30</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="05" i2="3" l="ENG"><s0>Topology</s0><s5>30</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="06" i2="3" l="FRE"><s0>Cinématique</s0><s5>31</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="06" i2="3" l="ENG"><s0>Kinematics</s0><s5>31</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="07" i2="X" l="FRE"><s0>Critère sélection</s0><s5>32</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="07" i2="X" l="ENG"><s0>Selection criterion</s0><s5>32</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="07" i2="X" l="SPA"><s0>Criterio selección</s0><s5>32</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="08" i2="3" l="FRE"><s0>Particule sans masse</s0><s5>33</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="08" i2="3" l="ENG"><s0>Massless particles</s0><s5>33</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="09" i2="3" l="FRE"><s0>Particule élémentaire</s0><s5>34</s5></fC03><fC03 i1="09" i2="3" l="ENG"><s0>Elementary particles</s0><s5>34</s5></fC03><fN21><s1>228</s1></fN21><fN44 i1="01"><s1>OTO</s1></fN44><fN82><s1>OTO</s1></fN82></pA></standard><server><NO>PASCAL 10-0352249 INIST</NO><ET>Observation of a first v<sub>τ</sub> candidate event in the OPERA experiment in the CNGS beam</ET><AU>AGAFONOVA (N.); ALEKSANDROV (A.); ALTINOK (O.); AMBROSIO (M.); ANOKHINA (A.); AOKI (S.); ARIGA (A.); ARIGA (T.); AUTIERO (D.); BADERTSCHER (A.); BAGULYA (A.); BENDHABI (A.); BERTOLIN (A.); BESNIER (M.); BICK (D.); BOYARKIN (V.); BOZZA (C.); BRUGIERE (T.); BRUGNERA (R.); BRUNET (F.); BRUNETTI (G.); BUONTEMPO (S.); CAZES (A.); CHAUSSARD (L.); CHERNYAVSKY (M.); CHIARELLA (V.); CHON-SEN (N.); CHUKANOV (A.); CIESIELSKI (R.); DAL CORSO (F.); D'AMBROSIO (N.); DECLAIS (Y.); DEL AMO SANCHEZ (P.); DE LELLIS (G.); DE SERIO (M.); DI CAPUA (F.); DI CRESCENZO (A.); DI FERDINANDO (D.); DI MARCO (N.); DI GIOVANNI (A.); DMITRIEVSKY (S.); DRACOS (M.); DUCHESNEAU (D.); DUSINI (S.); DZHATDOEV (T.); EBERT (J.); EGOROV (O.); ENIKEEV (R.); EREDITATO (A.); ESPOSITO (L.

The hybrid apparatus consists of an emulsion/lead target complemented by electronic detectors and it is placed in the high energy long-baseline CERN to LNGS beam (CNGS) 730 km away from the neutrino source. Runs with CNGS neutrinos were successfully carried out in 2008 and 2009. After a brief description of the beam, the experimental setup and the procedures used for the analysis of the neutrino events, we describe the topology and kinematics of a first candidate v<sub>τ</sub> charged-current event satisfying the kinematical selection criteria.
