Neutrino Oscillation Results from MINOS and MiniBooNE
نویسنده
چکیده
After a brief introduction to neutrino oscillations and a review of the world knowledge of neutrino oscillation parameters, we introduce two current neutrino oscillation experiments, MINOS and MiniBooNE. MINOS makes precise measurements of the oscillation parameters |∆m 32 |and sin(2θ23). MiniBooNE tests neutrino oscillations in the parameter region reported by the LSND experiment, which would require a new neutrino state. We review recent experimental results from both experiments and give an outlook on future measurements.

Experimental status of neutrino scattering physics and needed measurements
Knowledge of neutrino interactions with a nuclear target at the neutrino energy around sub-GeV is recently getting more and more important as necessary information for accelerator based neutrino oscillation experiments. A study of neutrino interactions contains rich physics of neutrinos with nucleus, and is used to reveal the properties of neutrinos in the oscillation measurements. We review th...
متن کاملNeutrino Cross Section Measurements for Long-baseline Accelerator-based Neutrino Oscillation Experiments
Neutrino oscillations are clear evidence for physics beyond the standard model. The goal of next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments is to find a non-zero θ13, the last mixing matrix element for which we only know an upper limit. For this, next-generation long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments require an order of magnitude better sensitivities. In particular, accelerator-based e...
متن کاملColumbia University REU at Fermilab
The final stages of the MiniBooNE neutrino oscillation analysis made an exciting backdrop for my REU working with Columbia Professor Janet Conrad at Fermilab this summer. MiniBooNE is a νμ → νe oscillation search designed to check to controversial LSND [1] result. My work focused on isolating neutral current delta baryons which undergo the rare electromagnetic decay. When deltas decay via the s...

I summarize the determination of neutrino oscillation parameters within the three-flavor framework from world neutrino oscillation data with date of May 2006, including the first results from the MINOS long-baseline experiment. It is illustrated how the determination of the leading “solar” and “atmospheric” parameters, as well as the bound on θ13 emerge from an interplay of various complementar...
