A search for muon neutrino and antineutrino disappearance in the Booster Neutrino Beam
- Columbia Univ., New York, NY (United States)
This dissertation presents a search for vμ and $$\bar{v}$$μ disappearance with the MiniBooNE experiment in the Δm2 region of a few eV2. Disappearance measurements in this oscillation region constrain sterile neutrino models and CPT violation in the lepton sector. Fits to the shape of the vμ and $$\bar{v}$$μ energy spectra reveal no evidence for disappearance in either mode. This is the first test of $$\bar{v}$$μ disappearance between Δm2 = 0.1 - 10 eV2. In addition, prospects for performing a joint analysis using the SciBooNE detector in conjunction with MiniBooNE are discussed.
