8 Neutrino interaction identification ν μ CC Event NC Event ν e CC Event UZ VZ 3.5m 1.8m.3m Long muon track + hadronic activity at vertex Short showering event, often diffuse Short event with typical EM shower profile E ν = E shower + P μ Shower energy resolution: 55%/ E Muon momentum resolution: 6% range; 13% curvature 8
9 Pre-selecting ν μ CC Events Preselection for separating ν μ CC from NC events Data quality: Beam and detector monitoring cuts Preselection: At least one good reconstructed track Track vertex within detector fiducial volume Fiducial volume NEAR: 1m < z < 5m R<1m from beam center ν Calorimeter Spectrometer FAR: z>50cm from front face z>m from rear face R<3.7m from center of FD Fitted track must have negative charge (to reject ν μ ) 9
10 Selecting CC ν μ interactions Monte Carlo Related to Muon momentum Related to event inelasticity Related to de/dx P CC /P NC is the probability that a CC/NC event would be observed with these values where (P CC (P NC ), resp.) is the product of the three CC(NC) PDFs at those values PID= ( log( P CC ) log( PNC)) 10
11 Predicting the unoscillated FD energy spectrum p Target π + FD Decay Pipe E ν ~ 0.43E π / (1+γ π θ ν ) The unoscillated FD energy spectrum differs from the ND spectrum because the decay angles for neutrinos to reach the detectors differ Primary extrapolation method is matrix method that contains info of pion -body decay kinematics and beamline geometry (MC used to correct for energy resolution and acceptance) ND (Several methods were developed for the extrapolation) Near Energy spectrum Far Energy spectrum 11
12 MINOS Best-Fit Spectrum Best-fit spectrum for 1.7x10 0 POT MINOS MINOS NC Subtracted Δm 3 = (stat + syst) 10 3 ev Measurement errors are 1σ, 1 DOF sin θ 3 = (stat Normalization = syst) χ = nbins [ ( ei oi ) + oiln( oi ei )] + i= 1 nsys Δs σ j= 1 j s j 1
13 Fit includes penalty terms for three main systematic uncertainties Fit is constrained to physical region: sin (θ 3 ) 1 Allowed Region Δm sin 3 θ = = ev 13
14 Systematic Uncertainties Systematic shifts in the fitted parameters are computed using MC fake data samples for Δm =.7x10-3 ev and sin θ=1.0 The uncertainties considered and shifts obtained: Effect Shift in Δm (10-3 ev ) Shift in sin θ Near/Far normalization ±4% Absolute hadronic energy scale ±11% NC contamination ±50% All other systematic uncertainties Total systematic (summed in quadrature) Statistical uncertainty (data) Magnitude of systematic error is ~40% of statistical error for Δm Several systematic uncertainties are data driven improve with more data and study 14

17 Estimating ν e Backgrounds from Data Muon removal from CC events to estimate NC contribution Assumes similar hadron multiplicities/shower topologies Requires some corrections from MC Use horn-off data to resolve NC, ν μ CC background components NC component of background is enhanced after event selection Estimate μ + >e + ν e ν μ component from observed ν μ spectrum ν μ energy (GeV) 17
18 Projected MINOS Sensitivity ν e Appearance MINOS Preliminary Can improve on current best limit from CHOOZ Plot shows δ CP vs sin θ 13 for both mass hierarchies using MINOS νμ CC best fit values and 4x10 0 POT 10% systematic uncertainty on background included 18
19 Summary MINOS has completed a ν μ disappearance analysis of the first year of NuMI beam data Exposure used in analysis: 1.7x10 0 POT Results are consistent with the oscillation hypothesis with parameters: Δm 3 = sin θ 3 = Δm =.74 ± Constraining the fit to sin (θ 3 ) = 1 yields: Systematic uncertainties under control and significant improvements expected with data driven studies & more statistics Accepted for publication in PRL (hep( hep-ex ex ) Second year of running is underway.
