Improved search for muon-neutrino to electron-neutrino oscillations in MINOS

Improved search for muon-neutrino to electron-neutrino oscillations in MINOS

We report the results of a search for \(\nu_{e}\) appearance in a \(\nu_{\mu}\) beam in the MINOS long-baseline neutrino experiment. With an improved analysis and an increased exposure of \(8.2\times10^{20}\) protons on the NuMI target at Fermilab, we find that \(2\sin^2(\theta_{23})\sin^2(2\theta_{...
