Recent Results and Future Prospects from MINOS

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2022-09-14 v1

Abstract

The MINOS experiment uses the intense NuMI beam created at Fermilab and two magnetized tracking calorimeters, one located at Fermilab and one located 735 km away at the Soudan Mine in Minnesota, to make precise measurements of νμ\nu_\mu disappearance oscillation parameters. We present recent results from the first two years of NuMI beam operations, including the precise measurement of the atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameters and the search for sterile neutrinos. Future prospects for MINOS will also be discussed, including an improved limit on the θ13\theta_{13} mixing angle by searching for νe\nu_e appearance in the νμ\nu_\mu beam.
