Description
MINOS is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment designed to make precision measurements of the neutrino mixing parameters associated with the atmospheric neutrino mass splitting. Using a neutrino beam from the Main Injector (NuMI) facility at Fermilab, it compares the neutrino energy spectrum for charged current muon neutrino interactions observed in two large detectors located at Fermilab and in the Soudan mine in northern Minnesota at a distance of 735km. The MINOS Collaboration has recently published the world’s best measurement of the atmospheric mass scale by studying muon neutrino disappearance. It has also studied the possibility of muon neutrinos oscillating into sterile neutrinos. Beyond summarizing these recently published results, I will focus on describing our new results on electron neutrino appearance in MINOS after two years of data-taking.
