First Direct Observation of Muon Antineutrino Disappearance

G.Barr supervised research student J.Evans who undertook this work at Oxford. Note: J.Evans' thesis is ref. [17], even though he is listed in the authors as from UCL (when postdoc). Guided by G.Barr, Evans developed the techniques for separating neutrino and antineutrino data and for separately extrapolating their contributions and background samples from near to far MINOS detectors. These techniques were initially applied to antineutrino events in the neutrino beam in the thesis, but were also applied to this easier-to-analyse data set when MINOS obtained data with an antineutrino beam.
