Status of MiniBooNE
Andrew Bazarko (Princeton University) (for the BooNE Collaboration)
TL;DR
MiniBooNE is a Fermilab neutrino experiment initiated in 2002 to investigate muon neutrino to electron neutrino oscillations, aiming to confirm or refute previous LSND findings.
Contribution
This paper reports the status and initial observations of the MiniBooNE experiment, which is designed to test neutrino oscillation signals suggested by earlier experiments.
Findings
First neutrino events observed in August 2002
Preparations for data collection completed in summer 2002
Experiment aims to clarify LSND oscillation evidence
Abstract
MiniBooNE is a neutrino oscillation experiment now running at Fermilab. The experiment will search for muon neutrino to electron neutrino oscillations in order to make a conclusive statement about the yet-unconfirmed evidence for oscillations presented by the LSND experiment. Preparations for the start of running were completed over the summer of 2002, and MiniBooNE observed its first neutrino events in late August.
