That article was almost information-free. Here's a better one.

A three sigma effect is impressive in just about any branch of science except precision electroweak measurements. I strongly hope that this result is borne out--we've been waiting for chinks in the armor of the Standard Model--but I'd like to see this verified by a method with different systematics, similar to the way the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory complements the (late, lamented) Super-KamiokaNDE experiment.

Offhand, I don't know what sort of theories this result favors. It doesn't seem likely that this is an indication of supersymmetry, because I don't see how it could affect neutrinos but not other currents.

Thanks for the information. The article you linked implied that it took about four years to analyze the data, but it also said that another less accurate experiment got similar results. Hopefully, there'll be some type of confirmation before another four years goes by.
