Abstract

The MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab reports results from a search for ${\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{e}$ oscillations, using a data sample corresponding to $5.66\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{20}$ protons on target. An excess of $20.9\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}14.0$ events is observed in the energy range $475<{E}_{\ensuremath{\nu}}^{\mathrm{QE}}<1250\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$, which, when constrained by the observed ${\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}$ events, has a probability for consistency with the background-only hypothesis of 0.5%. On the other hand, fitting for ${\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{e}$ oscillations, the best-fit point has a ${\ensuremath{\chi}}^{2}$ probability of 8.7%. The data are consistent with ${\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{e}$ oscillations in the 0.1 to $1.0\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{eV}}^{2}$ $\ensuremath{\Delta}{m}^{2}$ range and with the evidence for antineutrino oscillations from the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
