Muon Neutrino Disappearance Measurements at MINOS+

ORAL

Abstract

Starting in September 2013, the MINOS+ collaboration has been collecting data from the Medium Energy NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab. MINOS+ is currently scheduled to operate for three years, and will improve upon the world-leading measurements of neutrino oscillations using muon neutrino disappearance made by the MINOS experiment, yielding precision measurements of the oscillation parameters $\sin^2\theta_{23}$ and $\Delta m^2_{32}$. This talk will present results from MINOS+ based on the first year of data. An overview of the analysis, a comparison to previous MINOS results, and future sensitivities using the projected MINOS+ dataset will be presented.
