Phys. Rev. 118, 316 (1960): Resonant Scattering of Antineutrinos:

"The hypothesis of an unstable charged boson to mediate muon decay radically affects the cross section for the process ν̅ +e→ν̅ +μ- near the energy at which the intermediary may be produced. If the boson is assumed to have K-meson mass, the resonance occurs at an incident antineutrino energy of ∼2x ev. The flux of energetic antineutrinos produced in association with cosmic-ray muons will then produce two muon counts per day per square meter of detector, independently of the depth and the orientation at which the experiment is performed."
