A Study of Muon Neutrino Disappearance Using the Fermilab Main Injector Neutrino Beam, Adamson, P. et al. (MINOS), Phys. Rev. D77 (2008) 072002, arXiv:0711.0769.
From the abstract: We report the results of a search for disappearance by the Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search []. The experiment uses two detectors separated by 734 km to observe a beam of neutrinos created by the Neutrinos at the Main Injector facility at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.... Based on measurements in the Near Detector, in the absence of neutrino oscillations we expected charged-current interactions at the Far Detector but observed 215. This deficit of events corresponds to a significanc e of 5.2 standard deviations. The deficit is energy dependent and is consistent with two-flavor neutrino oscillations according to and at 68% confidence level.
