Abstract
The MINOS experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, which utilizes neutrinos from the Fermilab NuMI muon neutrino beam. The neutrino flux from this beamline is studied before and after oscillation with two separate magnetized tracking calorimeter detectors. MINOS has recently carried out several studies in the field of neutrino oscillations, using 7.2×1020 protons on target of neutrino data, and 1.71 × 1020 protons on target of antineutrino data. These studies include a precision study of the atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameters sin2(2θ23) and |Δm223|, a comparative study of the atmospheric antineutrino oscillation parameters sin2(2¯θ23) and |Δ¯m223|, an attempt to measure θ13 by looking for νμ → νe oscillations, and a search for oscillations to an additional sterile state.
