νe disappearance in MiniBooNE
نویسندگان
چکیده
The anomalous excess of low-energy νe events measured in the MiniBooNE experiment is explained through a renormalization of the absolute neutrino flux and a simultaneous disappearance of the νe’s in the beam, which is compatible with that indicated by the results of Gallium radioactive source experiments. We present the results of the fit of MiniBooNE data (Pνe→νe = 0.64 +0.08 −0.07) and the combined fit of MiniBooNE data and the νe disappearance measured in the Gallium radioactive source experiments, which gives Pνe→νe = 0.82 ± 0.04. We show that our interpretation of the data is also compatible with an old indication in favor of νe disappearance found from the analysis of the results of beam-dump experiments, leading to Pνe→νe = 0.80 +0.03 −0.04.

VSBL Electron Neutrino Disappearance
We consider possible indications of Very-Short-BaseLine (VSBL) electron neutrino disappearance into sterile neutrinos in MiniBooNE neutrino data and Gallium radioactive source experiments. We discuss the compatibility of such a disappearance with reactor and MiniBooNE antineutrino data. We find a tension between neutrino and antineutrino data which could be due to: 1) statistical fluctuations; ...
متن کاملShort-baseline neutrino oscillation waves in ultra-large liquid scintillator detectors
Powerful new multi-kiloton liquid scintillator neutrino detectors, including NOνA and LENA, will come on-line within the next decade. When these are coupled with a modest-power decay-at-rest (DAR) neutrino source at short-baseline, these detectors can decisively address the recent ambiguous signals for neutrino oscillations at high ∆m. These detectors are > 50 m long, and so with a DAR beam, th...
متن کاملThe Search for νμ → νe Oscillations at MiniBooNE
MiniBooNE (Mini Booster Neutrino Experiment) searches for the νμ → νe oscillations with ∆m2 ∼ 1 eV2/c4 indicated by the LSND experiment. The LSND evidence, when taken with the solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillations, suggests new physics beyond the Standard Model. However, this evidence has not been confirmed by other experiments. MiniBooNE has completed its first νμ → νe oscillation search...
متن کاملNew MiniBooNE Results
New results from the re-analysis of low energy excess from the Booster beam line and the results from measurements of neutrino interactions from NuMI beam line are discussed. MiniBooNE observes an unexplained excess of 128.8 ± 20.4 ± 38.3 electron-like events in the energy region 200 < Eν < 475 MeV. The NuMI data sample currently has a large systematic errors associated with νe events, but show...
متن کاملShort Baseline Neutrino Oscillations and a New Light Gauge Boson
We consider a model of neutrino oscillations with three additional sterile neutrinos and a gauged B − L interaction. We find allowed values of the model parameters which can reconcile the results of the evidence for ν̄μ → ν̄e conversion seen at the LSND neutrino oscillation experiment with the null results of the MiniBooNE experiment. A portion of the low energy excess of νe events seen at MiniBo...
