Abstract EN
The MINOS experiment took data from 2005 up until 2012.
The MINOS experiment took data from 2005 up until 2012, continuing beyond that as the MINOS+ experiment.
The experiment is a two-detector, on-axis, long-baseline experiment, sending neutrinos from Fermilab to the Soudan Underground Laboratory in northern Minnesota.
By searching for the deficit of muon neutrinos at the Far Detector, MINOS/MINOS+ is sensitive to the atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameters Δm322 and θ23.
By using the full MINOS data set looking at both νμ disappearance and νe appearance in both neutrino and antineutrino configurations at the NuMI beam along with atmospheric neutrino data recorded at the FD, MINOS has made the most precise measurement of Δm322.
Using a full three-flavour framework and searching for νe appearance, MINOS/MINOS+ gains sensitivity to θ13, the mass hierarchy, and the octant of θ23.
Exotic phenomenon is also explored with the MINOS detectors looking for nonstandard interactions and sterile neutrinos.
The current MINOS+ era goals are to build on the previous MINOS results improving the precision on the three-flavour oscillation parameter measurements and strengthening the constraints placed on the sterile neutrino parameter space.
