Neutrinos

Most muon neutrinos oscillate to tau neutrinos. However, 3.4 GeV threshold to produce taus in the detector !!!

Overview, ICHEP Aug 2016
Accr neutrinos, ICHEP Aug 2016
Non-Accr neutrinos, ICHEP Aug 2016
sin2(2.θ13) = 0.071 (Daya Bay), θ13 = 7.7o
θ13 = ~9o average at ICHEP 2016
θ23 = ~45o
θ12 = ~34o
Δm232 ~ 2.5.10-3 eV2
Δm221 ~ 8.10-5 eV2
L/E = 15,000 km/GeV for Δm221 and θ12 (Solar + reactor)
L/E = 500 km/GeV for the others.

Sterile neutrino suggestions
LSND
Evidence for neutrino oscillations from the observation of ¯νe appearance in a ¯νμ beam, Phys Rev D, Nov 2001
Supposedly needs sterile neutrinos to explain 3.8σ excess from Fig 24 which looks completely unimpressive.

In 2013, also reported a 2.8σ excess (Fig. 1), Improved Search for ν¯μ→ν¯e Oscillations in the MiniBooNE Experiment

SUSY

An example of how to generate a SUSY exclusion plot given in David Petyt's code from 2011,
at \\cern.ch\dfs\Workspaces\d\DaveC\Analysis\Petyt in folders "susycode" and "plots" that has
a README describing how to run the programme. Email 8 Sep 2011.
