Abstract

The MINOS (Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search) experiment will use the Main Injector neutrino beam to make high-precision oscillation measurements on all possible oscillation channels relevant to the atmospheric neutrino problem. Construction of the detector and the beamline are underway. Data acquisition with atmospheric neutrinos will begin in 2002 while the first beam neutrinos are expected in late 2004. While waiting for the beam neutrinos, MINOS will provide the first measurement oil the oscillation properties of atmospheric anti-neutrinos compared to neutrinos. This is possible due to the magnetic field in the detector.
