(C) Other neutrino mixing results

The LSND collaboration reported in AGUILAR 2001 a signal which is consistent with ${{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{\mu}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{e}}}$ oscillations. In a three neutrino framework, this would be a measurement of $\theta _{12}$ and $\Delta \mathit m{}^{2}_{21}$. This does not appear to be consistent with most of the other neutrino data. The following listings include results from ${{\mathit \nu}_{{\mu}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}_{{e}}}$ , ${{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{\mu}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{e}}}$ appearance and ${{\mathit \nu}_{{\mu}}}$, ${{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{\mu}}}$, ${{\mathit \nu}_{{e}}}$, and ${{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{e}}}$ disappearance experiments, and searches for $\mathit CPT$ violation.

$\Delta \mathit m{}^{2}$ for sin$^2(2{}\theta )$ = 1 ( ${{\mathit \nu}_{{\mu}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}_{{e}}}$ )

1  AGUILAR-AREVALO 2021 result is based on a total of $18.75 \times 10^{20}$ POT in neutrino mode, and $11.27 \times 10^{20}$ POT in anti-neutrino mode. Best fit at 0.043 eV${}^{2}$. The allowed region does not extend to large $\Delta $m${}^{2}$. The quoted value is the entire allowed region of $\Delta $m${}^{2}$ at 90$\%$ C.L. for all values of sin$^2(2\theta )$. Supersedes AGUILAR-AREVALO 2018C.
2  AGUILAR-AREVALO 2018C result is based on ${{\mathit \nu}_{{\mu}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}_{{e}}}$ appearance of $460.5$ $\pm99.0$ events; The best fit value is $\Delta $m${}^{2}$ = 0.041 eV${}^{2}$. Superseded by AGUILAR-AREVALO 2021 .
3  AGUILAR-AREVALO 2013A result is based on ${{\mathit \nu}_{{\mu}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}_{{e}}}$ appearance of $162.0$ $\pm47.8$ events; marginally compatible with twoneutrino oscillations. The best fit value is $\Delta $m${}^{2}$ = 3.14 eV${}^{2}$.
4  MAHN 2012 is a combined spectral fit of MiniBooNE and SciBooNE neutrino data with the range of $\Delta $m${}^{2}$ up to 25 eV${}^{2}$. The best limit is 0.04 at 7 eV${}^{2}$.
5  AGUILAR 2001 is the final analysis of the LSND full data set. Search is made for the ${{\mathit \nu}_{{\mu}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}_{{e}}}$ oscillations using ${{\mathit \nu}_{{\mu}}}$ from ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}$ decay in flight by observing beam-on electron events from ${{\mathit \nu}_{{e}}}$ ${}^{}\mathrm {C}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}^{-}}{{\mathit X}}$ . Present analysis results in $8.1$ $\pm12.2$ $\pm1.7$ excess events in the 60$<\mathit E_{{{\mathit e}}}<200$ MeV energy range, corresponding to oscillation probability of $0.10$ $\pm0.16$ $\pm0.04\%$. This is consistent, though less significant, with the previous result of ATHANASSOPOULOS 1998 , which it supersedes. The present analysis uses selection criteria developed for the decay at rest region, and is less effective in removing the background above 60 MeV than ATHANASSOPOULOS 1998 .
6  ATHANASSOPOULOS 1998 is a search for the ${{\mathit \nu}_{{\mu}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \nu}_{{e}}}$ oscillations using ${{\mathit \nu}_{{\mu}}}$ from ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}$ decay in flight. The 40 observed beam-on electron events are consistent with ${{\mathit \nu}_{{e}}}$ ${}^{}\mathrm {C}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}^{-}}$ X; the expected background is $21.9$ $\pm2.1$. Authors interpret this excess as evidence for an oscillation signal corresponding to oscillations with probability ($0.26$ $\pm0.10$ $\pm0.05)\%$. Although the significance is only $2.3~\sigma $, this measurement is an important and consistent cross check of ATHANASSOPOULOS 1996 who reported evidence for ${{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{\mu}}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{e}}}$ oscillations from ${{\mathit \mu}^{+}}$ decay at rest. See also ATHANASSOPOULOS 1998B.
7  LOVERRE 1996 uses the charged-current to neutral-current ratio from the combined CHARM (ALLABY 1986 ) and CDHS (ABRAMOWICZ 1986 ) data from 1986.
