Abstract
The MINOS experiment collected 3.36×1020 protons-on-target from May 2005 through July 2007 from Fermilab's NuMI beam. The data are consistent with νμ→ντ neutrino oscillation with parameters |Δm2|=(2.43±0.13)×10−3eV2 (68% CL) and sin22θ>0.90 (90% CL). An independent analysis of the first 2.46×1020 protons-on-target reveals no indication of sterile neutrino oscillation. A search for νe appearance is ongoing. The NOνA experiment is optimized for the detection of νe appearance off-axis from an upgraded NuMI beam and will be capable of an order-of-magnitude greater precision in νμ→ντ oscillation parameters.
