Suggestion
Received 20 April 2007; published 8 June 2007

The MiniBooNE Collaboration reports first results of a search for nue appearance in a nuµ beam. With two largely independent analyses, we observe no significant excess of events above the background for reconstructed neutrino energies above 475 MeV. The data are consistent with no oscillations within a two-neutrino appearance-only oscillation model.
