Abstract
In order to investigate experimentally the background induced by atmospheric neutrinos in nucleon decay experiments we have simulated very closely the expected spectrum by means of an accelerator produced neutrino beam and exposed to it a test module of a fine train calorimeter. Two runs have been performed with the detector axis placed at 0° and 45° with respect to the neutrino beam direction, and a total of 400 events have been detected and measured. The background induced by atmospheric neutrinos into various nucleon decay channels has been deduced from these data. These results can be applied to the present or planned nucleon decay experiments.
