TLDR
Measurements of oscillation parameters from ν (μ) and ν(μ) disappearance using beam and atmospheric data from MINOS are reported, with minimal change to the neutrino parameters.
Abstract
We report measurements of oscillation parameters from ν_μ and ν_μ disappearance using beam and atmospheric data from MINOS. The data comprise exposures of 10.71×10^(20) protons on target in the ν_μ-dominated beam, 3.36×10^(20) protons on target in the ν_μ-enhanced beam, and 37.88 kton yr of atmospheric neutrinos. Assuming identical ν and ν oscillation parameters, we measure |Δm^2|=(2.41_(-0.10)^(+0.09))×10^(-3)  eV^2 and sin^⁡2(2θ)=0.950_(-0.036)^(+0.035). Allowing independent ν and ν oscillations, we measure antineutrino parameters of |Δm^2|=(2.50_(-0.25)^(+0.23))×10^(-3)  eV^2 and sin^⁡2(2θ)=0.97_(-0.08)^(+0.03), with minimal change to the neutrino parameters.

The fate of hints: updated global analysis of three-flavor neutrino oscillations

TL;DR: In this paper, a combined analysis of the latest neutrino oscillation data presented at the Neutrino2020 conference shows that previous hints for the neutrinos mass ordering have significantly decreased, and normal ordering (NO) is favored only at the 1.6σ level.
