Title: First Constraints on Light Sterile Neutrino Oscillations from Combined Appearance and Disappearance Searches with the MicroBooNE Detector

Abstract

We present a search for eV-scale sterile neutrino oscillations in the MicroBooNE liquid argon detector, simultaneously considering all possible appearance and disappearance effects within the 3+1 active-to-sterile neutrino oscillation framework. We analyze the neutrino candidate events for the recent measurements of charged-current $$\nu_e$$ and $$\nu_{\mu}$$ interactions in the MicroBooNE detector, using data corresponding to an exposure of 6.37 x 1020 protons on target from the Fermilab booster neutrino beam. We observe no evidence of light sterile neutrino oscillations and derive exclusion contours at the 95% confidence level in the plane of the mass-squared splitting Δm$$^2_{41}$$ and the sterile neutrino mixing angles $$\theta_{\mu e}$$ and $$\theta_{ee}$$, excluding part of the parameter space allowed by experimental anomalies. Cancellation of $$\nu_e$$ appearance and $$\nu_e$$ disappearance effects due to the full 3+1 treatment of the analysis leads to a degeneracy when determining the oscillation parameters, which is discussed in this paper and will be addressed by future analyses.
