The MINOS Experiment

摘要

The MINOS (Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search) Experiment is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment using the Fermilab Main Injector neutrino beam and two detectors, one located at Fermilab and a second located 730 km away in Soudan, MN. The experiment is designed to probe neutrino oscillations at the value of Δm~2 suggested by atmospheric neutrino results, and will measure the oscillation parameters with high precision, search for sub-dominant v_μ → v_e mixing with unprecedented accuracy, and study possible CPT-violating oscillation scenarios with atmospheric neutrinos.
