The Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) experiment at
Fermilab will search for neutrinos produced by the Fermilab main injector
with a near detector at Fermilab and far detector located 730 km away
in a former iron mine in Soudan Minnesota. The experiment consists of
a series of 486 scintillator plates interleaved with 2.5 cm steel absorber
plates.
The High Energy Physics Group worked with the Accelerator Technologies
Engineering Group (ATEG) to engineer the steel plates and also led detector
R&D for Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) detectors. The HEP group also plays
a leading role in the attemp to understand the neutrino production measured
in the near detector.
The HEP group's work in FNAL 907, a fixed target proton-nuceus experiment,
is a significant component of this effort.
