Recent Results from MINOS and MINOS+
Description
The MINOS experiment was a long-baseline, two-detector experiment, magnetized steel-scintillator detector. From 2005 to 2012, MINOS performed measurements of oscillations driven by the atmospheric frequency through observations of muon neutrino and muon antineutrino disappearance and electron neutrino appearance in the low-energy-mode NuMI beam produced at Fermilab. From 2013 to 2016, the MINOS+ experiment took data using the MINOS detectors with the NuMI beam in a higher-energy mode allowing for a precise determination of the shape of the first atmospheric oscillation maximum. In this talk, I will show a new analysis of the three flavor paradigm using the full MINOS and MINOS+ datasets, including a 67% increase in medium energy data and a 25% increase in exposure to atmospheric neutrinos. I will also show searches for phenomena beyond the three-flavor paradigm, including a search for 3+1 sterile oscillations at both long and short baselines using a covariance matrix fit to achieve systematic uncertainty cancellation.
