Abstract

MINOS is a 735 km long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment from Fermilab (IL, USA) to the Soudan mine (MN, USA). The experiment measures ν μ at various energies from Fermilab’s NuMI beam. The near and far detectors are almost identical steel–scintillator sandwich tracking calorimeters. MINOS has been running in atmospheric mode since 2003 and in beam mode since February 2005. MINOS is designed to make precision measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameters in the atmospheric sector while also being able to improve the current limit on reactor sector oscillations. Several stages of calibration have to be performed to achieve this.
