Abstract

A novel method to look for neutrino oscillations is proposed based on the elastic scattering process $ν ˉ_{i} e^{-} \to ν ˉ_{i} e^{-}$ , taking advantage of the dynamical zero present in the differential cross section for $ν ˉ_{e} e^{-} \to ν ˉ_{e} e^{-}$ . An effective tunable experiment between the "appearance" and "disappearance" limits is made possible. Prospects to exclude the allowed region for atmospheric neutrino oscillations are given.
