The Results of MINOS and the Future with MINOS+ | | Ashley Timmons
; | | Date: |
19 Nov 2015 | | Abstract: | The MINOS experiment took data from 2005 up until 2012. This was superseded
by MINOS+, the continuation of the two-detector, on-axis, long-baseline
experiment based at Fermilab, and at the Soudan Underground Laboratory in
northern Minnesota. By searching for the deficit of muon neutrinos at the Far
Detector, MINOS/MINOS+ is sensitive to the atmospheric neutrino oscillation
parameters $Delta m^{2}_{32}$ and $ heta_{23}$. By using the full MINOS data
set looking at both
umu disappearance and
ue appearance in both neutrino
and anti-neutrino configurations at the NuMI beam along with atmospheric
neutrino data recorded at the FD, MINOS has made the most precise measurement
of $Delta m^{2}_{32}$. Using a full three-flavour framework and searching for
ue appearance MINOS/MINOS+ gains sensitivity to $ heta_{13}$, the mass
hierarchy and the octant of $ heta_{23}$. Exotic phenomenon is also explored
with the MINOS detectors looking for non-standard interactions and sterile
neutrinos. The current MINOS+ era goals are to build on the previous MINOS
results improving the precision on the three-flavour oscillation parameter
measurements and strengthening the constraints placed on the sterile neutrino
parameter space. | | Source: | arXiv, 1511.6178 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
