Abstract: (Elsevier)
Extending previous work, we assess the feasibility of using the visible energy distribution for zero-muon events in a beam dump experiment as a possible means of observing the tau neutrino. The method would require an extremely precise knowledge of various neutrino fluxes and corresponding background reactions, and hence is not as reliable as the muon-trigger test proposed earlier.
