چکیده

The MiniBooNE Collaboration reports a search for nu_{micro} and nu[over]_{micro} disappearance in the Deltam;{2} region of 0.5-40 eV;{2}. These measurements are important for constraining models with extra types of neutrinos, extra dimensions, and CPT violation. Fits to the shape of the nu_{micro} and nu[over]_{micro} energy spectra reveal no evidence for disappearance at the 90% confidence level (C.L.) in either mode. The test of nu[over]_{micro} disappearance probes a region below Deltam;{2} = 40 eV;{2} never explored before.

Viewpoint The antineutrino vanishes differently

CPT symmetry, the combination of charge conjugation, parity inversion, and time reversal, is a fundamental symmetry of particle and nuclear physics and is considered sacred. It is conserved in field theories that explain the strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions. In the lepton sector, CPT symmetry requires that muon neutrino disappearance oscillations be identical to muon antineutrino ...

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; ...

A search for muon neutrino and antineutrino disappearance in MiniBooNE

The MiniBooNE Collaboration reports a search for νμ and ν̄μ disappearance in the ∆m 2 region of a few eV . These measurements are important for constraining models with extra types of neutrinos, extra dimensions and CPT violation. Fits to the shape of the νμ and ν̄μ energy spectra reveal no evidence for disappearance at 90% confidence level (CL) in either mode. This is the first test of ν̄μ disapp...
