Conclusions• Reported oscillation results from an initial exposure of 3.23E+19 POT (Run1)
• Electron-neutrino appearance:• Observed 1 single-ring electron-like event• Background (θ
13 = 0) = 0.30 ± 0.07
• Muon neutrino disappearance:• Observed 8 single-ring muon-like events• 2.5 σ deficit compared with null-hypothesis. Consistent with MINOS / K2K / SuperK-atm.
• In total 1.459E+20 (Run1+2) are currently on tape (estimate before quake was ~3E+20)
Nevertheless• Probably the best limit on electron-neutrino appearance• A competitive result on muon neutrino disappearance
• 2011 analysis in progress
Improvements:• New results from NA61• Exclusive CCQE measurement in ND280 + spectral information; F/N extrapolation• CC1π fraction constrain from ND280 • NCπ0 and beam v
e measurement from ND280
