Electron neutrino and antineutrino appearance in the full MINOS data sample. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We report on (e) and (e) appearance in () and () beams using the full MINOS data sample. The comparison of these (e) and (e) appearance data at a 735 km baseline with 13 measurements by reactor experiments probes , the 23 octant degeneracy, and the mass hierarchy. This analysis is the first use of this technique and includes the first accelerator long-baseline search for () (e). Our data disfavor 31% (5%) of the three-parameter space defined by , the octant of the 23, and the mass hierarchy at the 68% (90%) C.L. We measure a value of 2sin(2)(213)sin(2)(23) that is consistent with reactor experiments.
