Title:     Anti-Neutrino Oscillation Results from MiniBooNE

Abstract: The first MiniBooNE electron neutrino oscillation results published in April of 2007 ruled out the simple two neutrino oscillation hypothesis of the LSND experiment.  However, MiniBooNE unexpectedly observed a significant excess of electron-like events below a reconstructed neutrino energy of 475 MeV.  For the last two years MinibooNE has been running in anti-neutrino mode.  The electron anti-neutrino data sample can shed light on the neutrino low energy excess since they share many of the same backgrounds and systematic errors.  As well, a search for oscillation at higher energy can be performed.  Updates on the neutrino low energy excess and the new anti-neutrino data, a discussion of the results and future plans, will be presented.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
