Abstract
The result of a search for baryon-number-nonconserving neutron-antineutron transitions in oxygen using a 300-ton water Cherenkov detector located in the Homestake gold mine at a depth of 4200 m of water equivalent is reported. The 90 percent-confidence-level upper limit for the neutron partial lifetime for this process is found to be 1.4 x 10 to the 30th yr. According to a recent calculation of neutron-antineutron oscillations in oxygen, this result corresponds to a lower limit on the free-neutron oscillation time of 20 million sec.
