我们报道了在峰值能量为3GeV的ν_{μ主控光束中，在1.04千米和735千米范围内涉及轻不育中微子的振荡的研究结果。用唯象模型对10.56×10^{20}质子在靶上的曝光数据进行了分析。我们约束了混合参数θ_{24}和Δm_{41}^{2}，并对四维Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata矩阵|U_{μ4}|^{2}和|U_{τ4}|^{2}的参数进行了限制，假设ν_{e}和ν_{S}之间的混合可以忽略(|U_{e4}|^{2}=0)。没有发现ν_{μ}→ν_{S}转变的证据，我们在θ_{24}上设定了Δm_{41}^{2}≲1 ev^{2}的值的世界领先的限制。
We report results of a search for oscillations involving a light sterile neutrino over distances of 1.04 and 735 km in a ν_{μ}-dominated beam with a peak energy of 3 GeV. The data, from an exposure of 10.56×10^{20} protons on target, are analyzed using a phenomenological model with one sterile neutrino. We constrain the mixing parameters θ_{24} and Δm_{41}^{2} and set limits on parameters of the four-dimensional Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matrix, |U_{μ4}|^{2} and |U_{τ4}|^{2}, under the assumption that mixing between ν_{e} and ν_{s} is negligible (|U_{e4}|^{2}=0). No evidence for ν_{μ}→ν_{s} transitions is found and we set a world-leading limit on θ_{24} for values of Δm_{41}^{2}≲1 eV^{2}.
