Updated Search for Electron Antineutrino Appearance at MiniBooNE

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2019-08-13 v2

Abstract

The MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab has updated its search for \nu_\mu-bar -> \nu_e-bar oscillations with data collected through May 2011. This represents a statistics increase of 52% over the result published in 2010. The data favor LSND-like oscillations over a background-only hypothesis at the 91.1% confidence level. While the new result remains equally consistent with LSND, the compatibility with the background-only hypothesis is improved. An excess of 38.6 +- 18.5 \nu_e-like events below 475 MeV is observed, consistent with the observation of such an excess in neutrino mode.
