Scientific paper

An extensive model of atmospheric neutrino interactions is developed which provides the backgrounds to nucleon-decay experiments. Results from a 417-live-day exposure of the Irvine-Michigan-Brookhaven detector are reported. During this time 401 contained events were observed, at a rate and with characteristics consistent with atmospheric neutrino interactions. The expected backgrounds to a variety of two-body and three-body decay modes and lower limits on many nucleon partial lifetimes are calculated.
