The authors' main claim By using the full MINOS data set looking at both \numu disappearance and \nue appearance in both neutrino and anti-neutrino configurations at the NuMI beam along with atmospheric neutrino data recorded at the FD, MINOS has made the most precise measurement of $\Delta m^{2}_{32}$.

The MINOS experiment took data from 2005 up until 2012. This was superseded by MINOS+, the continuation of the two-detector, on-axis, long-baseline experiment based at Fermilab, and at the Soudan Underground Laboratory in northern Minnesota. By searching for the deficit of muon neutrinos at the Far Detector, MINOS/MINOS+ is sensitive to the atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameters $\Delta m^{2}_{32}$ and $\theta_{23}$. By using the full MINOS data set looking at both \numu disappearance and \nue appearance in both neutrino and anti-neutrino configurations at the NuMI beam along with atmospheric neutrino data recorded at the FD, MINOS has made the most precise measurement of $\Delta m^{2}_{32}$. Using a full three-flavour framework and searching for \nue appearance MINOS/MINOS+ gains sensitivity to $\theta_{13}$, the mass hierarchy and the octant of $\theta_{23}$. Exotic phenomenon is also explored with the MINOS detectors looking for non-standard interactions and sterile neutrinos. The current MINOS+ era goals are to build on the previous MINOS results improving the precision on the three-flavour oscillation parameter measurements and strengthening the constraints placed on the sterile neutrino parameter space.

The paper
Original abstract
The MINOS experiment took data from 2005 up until 2012. This was superseded by MINOS+, the continuation of the two-detector, on-axis, long-baseline experiment based at Fermilab, and at the Soudan Underground Laboratory in northern Minnesota. By searching for the deficit of muon neutrinos at the Far Detector, MINOS/MINOS+ is sensitive to the atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameters $\Delta m^{2}_{32}$ and $\theta_{23}$. By using the full MINOS data set looking at both \numu disappearance and \nue appearance in both neutrino and anti-neutrino configurations at the NuMI beam along with atmospheric neutrino data recorded at the FD, MINOS has made the most precise measurement of $\Delta m^{2}_{32}$. Using a full three-flavour framework and searching for \nue appearance MINOS/MINOS+ gains sensitivity to $\theta_{13}$, the mass hierarchy and the octant of $\theta_{23}$. Exotic phenomenon is also explored with the MINOS detectors looking for non-standard interactions and sterile neutrinos. The current MINOS+ era goals are to build on the previous MINOS results improving the precision on the three-flavour oscillation parameter measurements and strengthening the constraints placed on the sterile neutrino parameter space.

This analysis yielded the most precise measurement of the atmospheric mass splitting dm^2_32 performed to date.

The MINOS experiment, operating in the NuMI beam since 2005, has provided the most precise measurement of the atmospheric mass splitting $|\Delta m^2_{32}|$, and the recent combination of the $\nu_\mu$, $\nu_e$, and atmospheric neutrino samples has provided some evidence of non-maximal mixing, and hints about the neutrino mass hierarchy and the $\theta_{23}$ octant.

One explanation is the addition of one or more neutrino types which would oscillate with the three active neutrino flavours; a comprehensive overview of this explanation to account for the above discrepancies can be found in reference [ref] .
