An experiment, that uses an accelerator at Fermilab to send a beam of neutrinos to the Soudan Mine to search for the oscillation of muon neutrinos. For more information see: http://www-numi.fnal.gov/.
An experiment consisting of two detectors, one at Fermilab and one at Soudan mine, 735 km away. The objective is to detect a change in composition of a neutrino beam between the two detectors indicating neutrino oscillation.
MINOS (or Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search) is an particle physics experiment designed to study the phenomena of neutrino oscillations, first discovered by Super-Kamiokande experiment in 1998. Neutrinos produced at Fermilab by the Nu MI (Neutrinos at Main Injector) beamline are observed at two detectors, one very close to where the beam is produced (the near detector), and another much larger detector 735 km away in northern Minnesota (the far detector).
