Search for Muon Neutrino Disappearance in a Short-Baseline Accelerator Neutrino Beam

Abstract

We report a search for muon neutrino disappearance in the $\Delta m^2$ region of 0.5-40 $e{V}^2$ using data from both SciBooNE and MiniBooNE experiments. SciBooNE data provides a constraint on the neutrino flux, so that the sensitivity to ${\nu }_{\mu }$ disappearance with both detectors is better than with just MiniBooNE alone. The preliminary sensitivity for a joint ${\nu }_{\mu }$ disappearance search is presented.
