Abstract

We report an improved measurement of ν _̄μ disappearance over a distance of 735 km using the MINOS detectors and the Fermilab Main Injector neutrino beam in a ν _̄μ-enhanced configuration. From a total exposure of 2.95×1020 protons on target, of which 42% have not been previously analyzed, we make the most precise measurement of Δm ^̄2=[2.62-0.28+0.31(stat)±0. 09(syst)]×10 ^-3eV2 and constrain the ν _̄μ mixing angle ^sin2(2θ̄)>0.75 (90% C.L.). These values are in agreement with Δm2 and ^sin2(2θ) measured for ν _μ, removing the tension reported in.
