The Kolar Gold Fields neutrino experiment I. The interactions of cosmic ray neutrinos

    Final results are presented of an experiment to study the interactions of cosmic ray neutrinos deep underground, at a depth of 7.6 x 105 g cm-2 (standard rock). Clear examples have been recorded of neutrino-induced muons, including cases of upward moving particles and neutrino interactions within the detector assembly itself. The observed rate of events is compared with expectation and conclusions are made about the variation of the inelastic cross-section with energy and the lower limit to the mass of the intermediate boson. An examination has also been made of the celestial coordinates of the detected neutrinos and details are presented.
