Measurement of Neutrino and Antineutrino Oscillations Using Beam and Atmospheric Data in MINOS

Published 23 Apr 2013 in hep-ex | (1304.6335v3)

Abstract: We report measurements of oscillation parameters from $\nu_{mu}$ and $\bar{\nu}{\mu}$ disappearance using beam and atmospheric data from MINOS. The data comprise exposures of \unit[$10.71 \times 10{20}$]{protons on target (POT)} in the $\nu{\mu}$-dominated beam, $\unit[3.36\times10{20}]{POT}}$ in the $\bar{\nu}{\mu}$-enhanced beam, and 37.88 kton-years of atmospheric neutrinos. Assuming identical $\nu$ and $\bar{\nu}$ oscillation parameters, we measure \mbox{$|\Delta m2}| = \unit[2.41{+0.09}{-0.10}) \times 10{-3}]{eV{2}}$} and $\sin{2}/!/left(2\theta \right) = 0.950{+0.035}_{-0.036}$. Allowing independent $\nu$ and $\bar{\nu}$ oscillations, we measure antineutrino parameters of $|\Delta \bar{m}2| = \unit[(2.50 {+0.23}_{-0.25}) \times 10{-3}]{eV{2}}$ and $\sin{2}/!/left(2\bar{\theta} \right) = 0.97{+0.03}_{-0.08}$, with minimal change to the neutrino parameters.
