MINOS Far Detector

Soudan Underground Neutrino Lab

 

MINOS is a particle physics experiment. It consists of two large detectors and optimized to detect neutrino interactions. The main objective of the MINOS experiment is to study the Neutrino Oscillations between the two detectors.

 

The 2015 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Takaaki Kajita and Arthur McDonald for their contributions to observations of the neutrino oscillations, which proves that neutrinos indeed have a mass. Neutrino oscillations are the first experimental evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model. Congratulations to Takaaki Kajita and Arthur McDonald for a great achievement!
