We report an improved measurement of muon anti-neutrino disappearance over a distance of 735km using the MINOS detectors and the Fermilab Main Injector neutrino beam in a muon anti-neutrino enhanced configuration. From a total exposure of 2.95e20 protons on target, of which 42% have not been previously analyzed, we make the most precise measurement of the anti-neutrino atmospheric delta-m squared = 2.62 +0.31/-0.28 (stat.) +/- 0.09 (syst.) and constrain the anti-neutrino atmospheric mixing angle >0.75 (90%CL). These values are in agreement with those measured for muon neutrinos, removing the tension reported previously.

The theory of neutrino oscillations explains changes in neutrino flavor, count rates, and spectra from solar, atmospheric, accelerator, and reactor neutrinos. These oscillations are characterized by three mixing angles and two mass-squared difference
s. The solar mixing angle, {theta}_12, and the atmospheric mixing angle, {theta}_23, have been well measured, but until recently the neutrino mixing angle {theta}_13 was not well known. The Daya Bay experiment, located northeast of Hong Kong at the Guangdong Nuclear Power Complex in China, has made a precise measurement of electron antineutrino disappearance using six functionally-identical gadolinium-doped liquid scintillator-based detectors at three sites with distances between 364 and 1900 meters from six reactor cores. This proceeding describes the Daya Bay updated result, using 127 days of good run time collected between December 24, 2011 and May 11, 2012. For the far site, the ratio of the observed number of events to the expected number of events assuming no neutrino oscillation is 0.944 +/- 0.007(stat) +/- 0.003(syst). A fit for {theta}_13 in the three-neutrino framework yields sin^2 2{theta}_13 = 0.089 +/- 0.010(stat) +/- 0.005(syst).
We report an improved measurement of the neutrino mixing angle $theta_{13}$ from the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment. We exclude a zero value for $sin^22theta_{13}$ with a significance of 7.7 standard deviations. Electron antineutrinos from six
reactors of 2.9 GW$_{rm th}$ were detected in six antineutrino detectors deployed in two near (flux-weighted baselines of 470 m and 576 m) and one far (1648 m) underground experimental halls. Using 139 days of data, 28909 (205308) electron antineutrino candidates were detected at the far hall (near halls). The ratio of the observed to the expected number of antineutrinos assuming no oscillations at the far hall is $0.944pm 0.007({rm stat.}) pm 0.003({rm syst.})$. An analysis of the relative rates in six detectors finds $sin^22theta_{13}=0.089pm 0.010({rm stat.})pm0.005({rm syst.})$ in a three-neutrino framework.
The MINOS/MINOS+ experiment has recently reported stringent limits on $ u_mu$ disappearance that appear to rule out the 3+1 sterile neutrino model. However, in this paper we wish to point out problems associated with the MINOS/MINOS+ analysis. In par
ticular, we find that MINOS/MINOS+ has either underestimated their systematic errors and/or has obtained evidence for physics beyond the 3-neutrino paradigm. Either case would invalidate the limits on $ u_mu$ disappearance.
This letter reports the first direct observation of muon antineutrino disappearance. The MINOS experiment has taken data with an accelerator beam optimized for muon antineutrino production, accumulating an exposure of $1.71times 10^{20}$ protons on t
arget. In the Far Detector, 97 charged current muon antineutrino events are observed. The no-oscillation hypothesis predicts 156 events and is excluded at $6.3sigma$. The best fit to oscillation yields $Delta bar{m}^{2}=(3.36^{+0.46}_{-0.40}textrm{(stat.)}pm0.06textrm{(syst.)})times 10^{-3},eV^{2}$, $sin^{2}(2bar{theta})=0.86^{+0.11}_{-0.12}textrm{(stat.)}pm0.01textrm{(syst.)}$. The MINOS muon neutrino and muon antineutrino measurements are consistent at the 2.0% confidence level, assuming identical underlying oscillation parameters.
This paper reports the first measurement using the NOvA detectors of $ u_mu$ disappearance in a $ u_mu$ beam. The analysis uses a 14 kton-equivalent exposure of $2.74 times 10^{20}$ protons-on-target from the Fermilab NuMI beam. Assuming the normal n
eutrino mass hierarchy, we measure $Delta m^{2}_{32}=(2.52^{+0.20}_{-0.18})times 10^{-3}$ eV$^{2}$ and $sin^2theta_{23}$ in the range 0.38-0.65, both at the 68% confidence level, with two statistically-degenerate best fit points at $sin^2theta_{23} = $ 0.43 and 0.60. Results for the inverted mass hierarchy are also presented.
