description: We report new constraints on flavor-changing non-standard neutrino interactions from the MINOS long-baseline experiment using $ν_{e}$ and $\barν_{e}$ appearance candidate events from predominantly $ν_μ$ and $\barν_μ$ beams. We used a statistical selection algorithm to separate $ν_{e}$ candidates from background events, enabling an analysis of the combined MINOS neutrino and antineutrino data. We observe no deviations from standard neutrino mixing, and thus place constraints on the non-standard interaction matter effect, $|\varepsilon_{eτ}|$, and phase, $(δ_{CP}+δ_{eτ})$, using a thirty-bin likelihood fit.
