On the single photon background to nu_e appearance at MiniBooNE
Richard J. Hill
TL;DR
This paper investigates how overlooked single photon processes could explain the excess of electron-like events observed at MiniBooNE, providing predictions for similar events in antineutrino mode.
Contribution
It introduces a fit to the excess using single photon processes and offers predictions for analogous events in antineutrino mode.
Findings
Single photon processes may account for the observed excess.
Predictions for electron-like events in antineutrino mode are provided.
The analysis suggests a possible background explanation for MiniBooNE results.
Abstract
Neglected single photon processes are fit to an excess of electron-like events observed in a predominantly nu_mu beam at MiniBooNE. Predictions are given for analogous events in antineutrino mode.
