Open full text 0 citations

Abstract

We report new measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters from the MINOS+ experiment using the first two years of accelerator beam exposure combined with the complete set of accelerator and atmospheric data from MINOS. The analysis combined ν µ disappearance and ν e appearance data using the three-flavor oscillation formalism. Our results give the confidence limits (68% C.L.) and sin 2 θ 23 = 0.35 − 0.65 (90% C.L.) for normal hierarchy, and (68% C.L.) and sin 2 θ 23 = 0.35 − 0.66 (90% C.L.) for inverted hierarchy.
