Περίληψη:
Results are reported from a search for active to sterile neutrino
oscillations in the MINOS long-baseline experiment, based on the
observation of neutral-current neutrino interactions, from an exposure
to the NuMI neutrino beam of 7.07 x 10(20) protons on target. A total of
802 neutral-current event candidates is observed in the Far Detector,
compared to an expected number of 754 +/- 28(stat) +/- 37(syst) for
oscillations among three active flavors. The fraction f(s) of
disappearing nu(mu) that may transition to nu(s) is found to be less
than 22% at the 90% C.L.
