Abstract

Muon neutrino disappearance probability as a function of neutrino flight length $L$ over neutrino energy $E$ was studied. A dip in the $L/E$ distribution was observed in the data, as predicted from the sinusoidal flavor transition probability of neutrino oscillation. The observed $L/E$ distribution constrained ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}\ensuremath{\leftrightarrow}{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\tau}}$ neutrino oscillation parameters; $1.9\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}3}<\ensuremath{\Delta}{m}^{2}<3.0\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}3}\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}}^{2}$ and ${sin}^{2}2\ensuremath{\theta}>0.90$ at 90% confidence level.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • It seems unlikely that Lorentz violation could be the sole source of neutrino oscillations.

    “Current data support neutrino oscillations that vary as a function of L/E [35, 125], so it seems unlikely that Lorentz violation could be the sole source of neutrino oscillations.”

    From Modern Tests of Lorentz Invariance (2005) · cites this paper as [35]

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.
