Observation of atmospheric neutrino oscillations in Soudan 2

Creators

Description

The effects of oscillations of atmospheric νμ are observed in the 5.90 fiducial kiloton-year exposure of the Soudan 2 detector. An unbinned maximum likelihood analysis of the neutrino L/E distribution has been carried out using the Feldman-Cousins prescription. The probability of the no oscillation hypothesis is 5.8 x 10-4. The 90% confidence allowed region in the sin2 2θ, Δm2 plane is presented
