Journal ArticleDOI

Observation of muon neutrino disappearance with the MINOS detectors in the NuMI neutrino beam

D. G. Michael, +302 more
TL;DR: In this article, the MINOS experiment reported results from its initial exposure to neutrinos from the Fermilab NuMI beam, and the rate and energy spectra of charged current muon neutrino interactions are compared in two detectors located along the beam axis at distances of 1 km and 735 km.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurement of neutrino oscillations with the MINOS detectors in the NuMI beam.

P. Adamson, +177 more
TL;DR: The data disfavor two alternative explanations for the disappearance of neutrinos in flight: namely, neutrino decays into lighter particles and quantum decoherence of neutRinos, at the 3.7 and 5.7 standard-deviation levels, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

The magnetized steel and scintillator calorimeters of the MINOS experiment

D. G. Michael, +297 more
TL;DR: The main injector neutrino oscillation search (MINOS) experiment as mentioned in this paper uses an accelerator-produced Neutrino beam to perform precision measurements of the neutrinos oscillation parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

The NuMI neutrino beam

P. Adamson, +201 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the hardware and operations of the Neutrinos at the main Injector (NuMI) beam at Fermilab are described. But the most important design details of individual components are not discussed.
