High Energy Seminar
MiniBooNE Oscillation Results and the Sterile Neutrino Mystery
Date: Monday, October 12th
Time: 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Place: 4274 Chamberlin
Speaker: Georgia Karagiorgi, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Abstract: MiniBooNE is a short-baseline experiment located at Fermilab, sensitive to muon
(anti)neutrino to electron (anti)neutrino appearance and muon (anti)neutrino
disappearance oscillations at high $Delta m^2sim$ 1 eV$^2$. These oscillation
searches have been motivated by the 3.8$sigma$ excess of electron antineutrino
events in a muon antineutrino beam observed by the LSND experiment in 1995. In
this talk, recent antineutrino and updated neutrino oscillation results from
MiniBooNE will be presented, and implications for the LSND excess will be
discussed within the context of sterile neutrino oscillation models.
