| ABSTRACT: |
First accelerator-based neutrino oscillation results from MINOS experiment
is presented. MINOS is a long-baseline experiment uses NuMI neutrino
beam produced by 120GeV Main Injector proton beam at Fermilab. Beam
neutrino interactions are observed by two detectors, the near detector
at Fermilab and the far detector at Soundan mine after 735km flight.
The MINOS far detector data from 0.93E20 pot exposure to the NuMI neutrino
beam is used for the neutrino oscillation analysis. We observed a deficit of the muon neutrinos and the spectrum distortion, which is consistent with the prediction from neutrino oscillation.
