Abstract

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has an active neutrino program with MiniBooNE, MINOS and SciBooNE experiments presently taking data. All three experiments utilize high intensity accelerator-based neutrino beams. MiniBooNE has recently published a measurement of the $\nu_\mu \rightarrow \nu_e$ appearance rate which is consistent with no oscillations in the accessible region of $\Delta m^{2}$ and $sin^{2}(2\theta)$ parameter space. MiniBooNE has also measured charged current $\nu_{\mu}$ quasi-elastic scattering parameters in the 1 GeV energy region. MINOS is a two detector long-baseline neutrino experiment designed to study oscillation phenomena using $\nu_{\mu}$ beam. MINOS has measured the $\nu_{\mu}$ disappearance rate for the atmospheric mass splitting $\Delta m^{2}_{atm}$. MINOS also actively pursues analyzes of far detector events searching for $\nu_{\mu} \rightarrow \nu_{e}$ appearance and for disappearance of $\nu_{\mu}$ into sterile neutrinos. This presentation will focus on latest results from the MiniBooNE and MINOS collaborations and provide an analysis update for future measurements.
