Abstract
We report on ν_e and ν_e appearance in ν_μ and ν_μ beams using the full MINOS data sample. The comparison of these ν_e and ν_e appearance data at a 735 km baseline with θ_(13) measurements by reactor experiments probes δ, the θ_(23) octant degeneracy, and the mass hierarchy. This analysis is the first use of this technique and includes the first accelerator long-baseline search for ν_μ→ν_e. Our data disfavor 31% (5%) of the three-parameter space defined by δ, the octant of the θ_(23), and the mass hierarchy at the 68% (90%) C.L. We measure a value of 2sin^2(2θ_(13))sin^2(θ_(23)) that is consistent with reactor experiments.
