The comparison of these ?e and ?¯e appearance data at a 735 km baseline with ?13 measurements by reactor experiments probes d, the ?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 ? ¯µ??¯e. Our data disfavor 31% (5%) of the three-parameter space defined by d, the octant of the ?23, and the mass hierarchy at the 68% (90%) C.L. We measure a value of 2sin2(2?13) sin2(?23) that is consistent with reactor experiments.
