The following MiniBooNE information from the 2009 numu and numubar disappearance paper is made available to the public:
- ntuple file of MiniBooNE numu 90% confidence level sensitivity as a function of Dm2,
for a 2-neutrino numu -> nux ocillation fit. The file contains 141 rows, with two columns: Dm2 value in the range 0.4 < Dm2 (eV2) < 102, sin2(2th, 90%CL sensitivity)
(Dm2 (eV2), sin2(2th)sens, 90% CL)
where sin2(2th)max and sin2(2th)sens indicate
the sensitivity, and 90% confidence level corresponding to those numbers.
- ntuple file of MiniBooNE sin2(2theta) data limit as a function of Dm2,
for a 2-neutrino muon-to-electron antineutrino oscillation fit, and 90% confidence levels. The file contains 83 rows, one for each Dm2 value in the range 0.4 < Dm2 (eV2) < 102, and 2 columns per row with the following format:
(Dm2 (eV2), sin2(2th)max, 90% CL)
where sin2(2th)max and sin2(2th)sens indicate
the upper limit and 90% confidence level corresponding to those numbers.
ntuple file of MiniBooNE 2-dimensional chi2 surface as a function of ( Dm2, sin2(2theta) ) in the range ( 10-1 < Dm2 (eV2) < 102, ·10-2 < sin2(2theta) < 1 ). The file contains 14,400 rows, one for each ( Dm2, sin2(2theta) ) pair of values, and 3 columns per row with the following format:
(Dm2 (eV2), sin2(2th), chi2)
Note: the value quoted in the third column is the total, and not the reduced, chi2 value (ie, it has not been divided by the number of degrees of freedom)
- 1D array of bin boundaries in neutrino (and antineutrino) reconstructed neutrino energy
- 1D array of observed muon neutrino charged-current quasi-elastic (CCQE) candidate events per reconstructed neutrino energy bin
- 2D array of
fractional, shape-only, covariance matrix per reconstructed neutrino energy bin, including all systematic
uncertainties, but no statistical uncertainty for the predicted muon neutrino CCQE events
- ntuple file of
1,267,007 muon neutrino CCQE candidate events, with event number, reconstructed neutrino energy, true neutrino
energy, neutrino baseline, and event weight for each event provided. Overall normalization is provided by scaling to total data events.
- Numubar Disappearance
- ntuple file of MiniBooNE numubar 90% confidence level sensitivity as a function of Dm2,
for a 2-neutrino numu -> nux ocillation fit. The file contains 92 rows, with two columns: Dm2 (range 0.4 < Dm2 (eV2) < 102), sin2(2th, 90%CL sensitivity)
- ntuple file of MiniBooNE numubar 90% confidence level limit as a function of Dm2,
for a 2-neutrino numu -> nux ocillation fit. The file contains 60 rows, with two columns: Dm2 (range 0.4 < Dm2 (eV2) < 102), sin2(2th, 90%CL limit)
- ntuple file of MiniBooNE 2-dimensional chi2 surface as a function of ( Dm2, sin2(2theta) ) in the range ( 10-1 < Dm2 (eV2) < 102, ·10-2 < sin2(2theta) < 1 ). The file contains 14,400 rows, one for each ( Dm2, sin2(2theta) ) pair of values, and 3 columns per row with the following format:
(Dm2 (eV2), sin2(2th), chi2)
Note: the value quoted in the third column is the total, and not the reduced, chi2 value (ie, it has not been divided by the number of degrees of freedom)
- 1D array of bin boundaries in reconstructed antineutrino energy (same as numu analysis)
- 1D array of observed muon anti-neutrino CCQE candidate events per reconstructed neutrino energy bin
- 2D array of
fractional, shape-only, covariance matrix per reconstructed neutrino energy bin, including all systematic
uncertainties, but no statistical uncertainty for the predicted muon neutrino CCQE events
- ntuple file of
686,569 predicted muon neutrino CCQE candidate events, with event number, reconstructed neutrino energy, true neutrino
energy, neutrino baseline, and event weight for each event provided. Overall normalization is provided by scaling to total data events.
