NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forums |
Organized by: Prof. Lu Lu
Events on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
- Recent Results from MINOS (Joint NPAC/HEP Seminar)
- Time: 4:00 pm
- Place: 5280 Chamberlin
- Speaker: Christopher White, Illinois Institute of Technology
- Abstract: MINOS (Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search) is a
mature neutrino experiment that has been accumulating data using the NuMI neutrino beam since 2005. Data from 7 x 1020 protons-on-target have been recorded, primarily in low-energy neutrino mode. An update on the charge-current analysis will be presented as well as the recent electron appearance result. Additional results will be briefly reviewed along with prospects for future running in anti-neutrino mode. - Host: Karsten Heeger
