    A method for detecting the transition ν μ→ν τ in long-baseline accelerator experiments, that consists in comparing the far-to-near ratios of the spectra of quasielastic CC events generated by high- and low-energy beams of muon neutrinos, is proposed. The test may be accessible to big water Cherenkov detectors and iron-scintillator calorimeters, and is limited by statistics rather than systematics. In the NuMI program with the MINOS detector, only the Δ m 2 values above some 4×10 −3 eV 2 can be probed.
