Dr. Heather Ray, Los Alamos National Lab, "Results from MiniBoone
Neutrino Oscillations Search"

Abstract: The LEP measurement of the Z boson width indicates that there exists
three light neutrinos.  Neutrino oscillations, observed and confirmed
for solar and atmospheric neutrinos, are permitted in this scheme.
The LSND observation of accelerator neutrino oscillations at high Delta m^2,
however, is not permitted in a model which only contains three neutrino types.

  MiniBooNE, located at Fermi National Laboratory, is an experiment
designed to to refute or confirm the LSND oscillation result.
MiniBooNE looked for oscillations of muon neutrino to electron
neutrino in a closed-box appearance analysis. The final results
of the MiniBooNE oscillation search will be presented, along with a
discussion of future prospects.
