The following MiniBooNE information from the 2009 updated nue oscillation paper is made available to the public:
- Energy Range for Default Oscillation Fit (475 MeV - 3000 MeV reconstructed neutrino energy)
- 1D array of bin boundaries in electron neutrino reconstructed neutrino energy
- 1D array of observed electron neutrino candidate events per reconstructed neutrino energy bin
- 1D array of observed muon neutrino charged-current quasi-elastic (CCQE) candidate events as a function of reconstructed neutrino energy (note: not the same bin boundaries as electron neutrino candidate events)
- 1D array of predicted background electron neutrino candidate events per reconstructed neutrino energy bin
- 1D array of predicted muon neutrino CCQE candidate events per reconstructed neutrino energy bin
- 2D array of
fractional covariance matrix for muon-to-electron neutrino full transmutation events,
predicted electron neutrino background events, and predicted muon CCQE events
(three side-by-side diagonal blocks) per reconstructed neutrino energy bin, including systematic
uncertainties for all three samples, and statistical uncertainty for the
predicted electron neutrino background and predicted muon neutrino CCQE events
- ntuple file of
17,037 predicted muon-to-electron neutrino full transmutation events,
containing information on reconstructed neutrino energy, true neutrino
energy, neutrino baseline, and event weight for each event
- Low Energy Threshold Range (200 MeV - 3000 MeV reconstructed neutrino energy)
- 1D array of bin boundaries in electron neutrino reconstructed neutrino energy
- 1D array of observed electron neutrino candidate events per reconstructed neutrino energy bin
- 1D array of observed muon neutrino charged-current quasi-elastic (CCQE) candidate events as a function of reconstructed neutrino energy (same file as one for default energy range; note: not the same bin boundaries as electron neutrino candidate events)
- 1D array of predicted background electron neutrino candidate events per reconstructed neutrino energy bin

Instructions
- Instructions on how to use this information can be found here.
- A FORTRAN program implementing these intructions to perform an example oscillation fit can be found here (note: you will need CERNLIB libraries, including LAPACK libraries, to build this program).
- Note: The above program calculates a signal prediction on an event-by-event basis, unlike the fit method employed in the official MiniBooNE oscillation analysis which uses a signal-averaging technique as a function of neutrino energy. The program will therefore yield slightly different (yet consistent) best-fit chi2 and oscillation parameters than those published by the MiniBooNE collaboration. In addition, the null chi2 are different from those quoted in the MiniBooNE publication due to a diferent energy binning choice.
