We present upper limits on the production of heavy leptons (L±) by neutrinos via the process νμ+Ne→L±+⋯, L±→e±+ν+ν¯. These limits imply that the L− and L+, if they couple in full strength to νμ, are heavier than 7.5 and 9 GeV, respectively. They also imply that the coupling strength νμ to the recently discovered 1.9-GeV heavy lepton τ is less than 0.025 of the normal νμ−μ coupling.

The production of μ − e − pairs is studied in interactions of neutrinos with nuclei of heavy freon in the SKAT bubble chamber experiment. A rate of μ − e − pairs to charged current interactions of R μ − e − =(2.5± 1.4 4.3 )×10 −4 is found at an average neutrino energy of 10 GeV. The ratio μ − e − / μ − e + comes out to be μ − e − / μ − e + = 0.12± 0.08 0.22 .
