چکیده
oscillation search (sin2(2θ) and Δm2). Δm2 is the difference in squares of the mass states of the neutrinos (Δm12 = m2 m 2 1). If the observed oscillations only occur between neutrinos in the Standard Model a summation law of the Δm2 is valid (Δm13 = Δm 2 12 + Δm 2 23). The observed oscillations do not follow this summation law. This implies one of the results is incorrect or there exists physics beyond the Standard Model. While the solar and atmospheric

Neutrino induced pion production at MiniBooNE and K2K energies
We investigate charged and neutral current neutrino-induced incoherent pion production off nuclei within the GiBUU model at energies relevant for the MiniBooNE and K2K experiments. Special attention is paid to the entanglement between measured CCQE and CC1π+ cross sections. We further give predictions and compare to recent data measured at MiniBooNE.
متن کاملBeyond Standard Model Searches in the MiniBooNE Experiment
The MiniBooNE experiment has contributed substantially to beyond standard model searches in the neutrino sector. The experiment was originally designed to test the Δm2 ∼ 1 eV region of the sterile neutrino hypothesis by observing ] e (] e ) charged current quasielastic signals from a ] μ (] μ ) beam. MiniBooNE observed excesses of ] e and ] e candidate events in neutrino and antineutrino mode, ...
متن کاملMiniBooNE and Sterile Neutrinos
Sterile neutrinos may be an important extension to the standard model, and could both hold the key to understanding neutrino mass and mixing as well as play an important role in leptogenesis. In many models, the sterile neutrinos could be light and accessible to current and near term experiments. The MiniBooNE experiment is set up to explore these possibilities in the ∆m region from 0.3 to a fe...
متن کاملνe disappearance in MiniBooNE
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 co...
متن کاملMiniBooNE Oscillation Results
Motivated by the LSND observation of an excess of observed ν̄e events above Monte Carlo prediction in a ν̄μ beam 1, the MiniBooNE experiment was designed to test the neutrino oscillation interpretation of the LSND signal in both neutrino and anti-neutrino modes. MiniBooNE has approximately the same L/Eν as LSND, where L is the neutrino travel distance and Eν is the neutrino energy. However, the M...

Neutrino oscillations have been established in solar and atmospheric neutrinos, but a third signal from the LSND experiment is incompatible with three Standard Model neutrinos. The MiniBooNE experiment can confirm or refute the LSND oscillation signal with 1 × 10 21 protons on target. While working towards the oscillation result, MiniBooNE will accumulate more than 1 × 10 6 neutrino interaction...
