Popis: The CERN short baseline program, designed to search for ν μ → ν τ oscillations, was carried out by two experiments using very different approaches: CHORUS, aiming at the direct observation of the τ decay in emulsion, and NOMAD, based on the indirect kinematical selection with an electronic detector. A review of the two experiments and of their τ appearance search, giving no evidence for neutrino oscillations, is presented here. The preliminary results of a search for ν μ → ν e oscillations in the NOMAD experiment are also reported, excluding the parameter region of LSND in the range Δm 2 > 10 eV 2 .
