Analysis Status and Recent Results on $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_{e}$ Oscillations of the OPERA Experiment

The OPERA experiment is designed to demonstrate the transition from νμ to ντ in neutrino oscillations by detecting the ντ appearance. During its 5 years run, from 2008 to 2012, 17.97×1019 protons on target were used to produce the νμ beam. In OPERA, νμ → νe oscillations are also searched for. The re...

Sumario:The OPERA experiment is designed to demonstrate the transition from νμ to ντ in neutrino oscillations by detecting the ντ appearance. During its 5 years run, from 2008 to 2012, 17.97×1019 protons on target were used to produce the νμ beam. In OPERA, νμ → νe oscillations are also searched for. The results presented in this article use the 2008 and 2009 data. Upper limits of 0.44 for sin2(2θ13) in the three flavour oscillation scheme and of 7.2×10−3 for sin2(2θnew) in a non standard oscillation scheme were set at 90% C.L.
