The Status of the Booster Neutrino Experiment at Fermilab (MiniBooNE)
- 1. Subatomic Particles Group P-25, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 87544 (United States)
Description
The MiniBooNE experiment is designed to verify the possibility that the excess of v-bare observed by the LSND experiment is due to neutrino oscillations. MiniBooNE commenced data taking on September 1, 2003. Over 140,000 events have been recorded with a positive particle focus, i.e. in neutrino mode. While the analysis is vigorously underway and while detector performance appears to be satisfactory, no physics results are reported due to the 'blind' analysis approach being taken by the collaboration. Physics results are expected to be released sometime between autumn of 2004 and summer of 2005
