Tension between MiniBooNE and MicroBooNE within a 3+1 Sterile Neutrino Framework using Simulation-Based Inference

Julia P. Woodward, Austin Schneider, Joshua Villarreal +2

The MiniBooNE low-energy excess and its subsequent exclusion by MicroBooNE provide an important test of sterile-neutrino explanations of short-baseline neutrino anomalies. Such a t…

Sensitivity Projections for Low-Mass Dark Matter Annihilation with the IceCube Upgrade

R. Abbasi, M. Ackermann, J. Adams +412

The IceCube Upgrade, an extension designed to enhance the IceCube Neutrino Observatory's detection of neutrinos with energies between 1 GeV and 500 GeV, will markedly improve IceCu…

A Simulation-Based Inference Evaluation of Tension Between MicroBooNE and MiniBooNE Results in a 3+1 Sterile Neutrino Global Fit

Julia P. Woodward, Joshua Villarreal, John M. Hardin +2

Compatibility between different datasets in a global fit is essential for determining whether a chosen model adequately describes the data. In a 3+1 sterile neutrino global fit, lo…

Machine Learning-Informed 3+1 Sterile Neutrino Global Fits using Posterior Density Estimation of Electron Disappearance Data

Joshua Villarreal, Julia Woodward, John Hardin +1

Global analyses of particle physics data are integral for validating and scrutinizing published results of experiments. Global fits of anomalous oscillation data which search for o…

Feldman-Cousins' ML Cousin: Sterile Neutrino Global Fits using Simulation-Based Inference

Joshua Villarreal, John M. Hardin, Janet M. Conrad

For many small-signal particle physics analyses, Wilks' theorem, a simplifying assumption that presumes log-likelihood asymptotic normality, does not hold. The most common alternat…

Wilks's Theorem, Global Fits, and Neutrino Oscillations

J. M. Hardin

Tests of models for new physics appearing in neutrino experiments often involve global fits to a quantum mechanical effect called neutrino oscillations. This paper introduces stude…
