	BooNE: Booster Neutrino Experiment
		The first beam induced neutrino events were detected in September, 2002, and the first anti-neutrino events were detected in January of 2006.
		MiniBooNE response to the paper by Arie Bodek, "Muon internal bremsstrahlung: A conventional explanation for the excess electron-neutrino events in MiniBooNE."
		The MiniBooNE oscillation paper is on the archive (arXiv:0704.1500) and is now published in PRL (Phys.

	MiniBooNE Overview
		MiniBooNE is the first (smaller) stage of the two stage BooNE project.
		MiniBooNE consists of two parts: a beamline which produces a beam of a known type of neutrinos and a detector that detects the different types of neutrinos incident upon it.
		It is our expectation that the more uniform the oil (the smaller variation in the lengths of the alkane chain lengths) and the purer the oil (the smaller the concentrations of unsaturated and aromatic hydrocarbons), the longer the attenuation length will be.

		I am co-spokesperson of the MiniBooNE Experiment, which is designed to observe muon-neutrino to electron-neutrino oscillations.
		MiniBooNE is motivated mainly by results from the LSND experiment, which can be interpreted as antimuon-neutrino to antielectron-neutrino oscillations with a probability of 0.31 ± 0.11 ± 0.05)%.
		MiniBooNE is designed to provide a definitive test of this result, obtaining approximately 300 events with >4 sigma significance upon confirmation.

		The MiniBooNE Detector is designated as Project 6-7-56, and is scheduled for being bid in the summer of 1999, with construction beginning in September, 1999.
		It is the policy of the MiniBooNE project that all activities shall be performed at a level of quality appropriate to achieving the technical, cost, and schedule objectives of the project and at the same time ensuring that all related ESandH considerations are properly addressed.
		Personnel access to the MiniBooNE detector is by a short ladder leading to a spiral staircase for access to the vault and a manhole at the bottom of the tank for access into the tank.

	MiniBooNE solves neutrino mystery - CERN Courier
		The results announced on 11 April resolve questions that were raised in the 1990s by observations of the LSND experiment at Los Alamos, which appeared to contradict findings of other neutrino experiments.
		MiniBooNE now shows conclusively that the LSND results could not be due to simple neutrino oscillation.
		The MiniBooNE experiment took data for this analysis from 2002 until the end of 2005 using muon neutrinos produced by the Booster accelerator at Fermilab.

	MiniBooNE opens the box
		MiniBooNE researchers showed conclusively that the LSND results could not be due to simple neutrino oscillation, a phenomenon in which one type of neutrino transforms into another type and back again.
		The MiniBooNE experiment, approved in 1998, took data for the current analysis from 2002 until the end of 2005 using muon neutrinos produced by the Booster accelerator at Fermilab.
		MiniBooNE physicists are supported by funding from the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. National Science Foundation.

	MiniBooNE Neutrino Result - Guest Blog from Heather Ray \| Cosmic Variance
		The MiniBooNE experiment was designed to explore the LSND result, to conclusively prove or disprove the claimed oscillations.
		MiniBooNE’s neutrino oscillation analysis was the first of two analyses needed to conclusively explore the LSND result.
		The MiniBooNE experiment has ruled out one of the ranges, which was suggested by the results of the LSND experiment.

	MiniBooNE for Neutrinos - Asymptotia
		One of the major motivations of MiniBoone was trying to understand the LSND result, which indicated an excess of oscillations into electron neutrinos.
		One possible interpretation of their result was that there exist sterile neutrinos, and that the excess of electron neutrinos in their beam was due to oscillations of sterile neutrinos.
		MiniBoone makes a beam of muon neutrinos, sends it through half a kilometer of dirt, then dumps the beam in a tank of mineral oil (which is outfitted with a gajillion phototubes).

	MiniBooNE Findings Clarify the Behavior of Neutrinos
		The MiniBooNE experiment mimicked the earlier Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) experiment by looking for signs of muon neutrinos oscillating into electron neutrinos in the region indicated by the LSND observations.
		The MiniBooNE team is an international collaboration of 77 researchers from 17 institutions in the United States and the U.K. working at Fermilab, with support from the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.
		Although the MiniBooNE researchers have decisively ruled out the interpretation of the LSND results as being due to oscillations between two types of neutrinos, there are data they observe at low energy that do not match their expectations.

		If miniBooNE verifies the LSND result, this would imply that the mass of one of the neutrinos is greater than about 0.5 eV and the neutrino would be responsible for a large fraction of the dark matter component of the universe.
		If miniBooNE verifies that neutrino oscillations do occur, the next step would be to precisely measure the oscillation parameters and to search for CP violation in the lepton sector.
		It is expected that the decision to proceed with this second detector would be made after sufficient miniBooNE data is collected and analyzed, sometime in 2004.

	Beam me up (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The MiniBooNE beam came to life in late April, with a stream of particles originating in the Booster accelerator and traveling about three-fourths of the way down the 680-foot beam pipe to a temporary target.
		Now MiniBooNE, initiated in 1997, is back to focusing on the future, anticipating final beam tests and then the first neutrino results later in 2002.
		In addition to MiniBooNE, Los Alamos has longstanding ties to the Drell-Yan experiments at Fermilab, studying quark effects in nuclei, and is part of the upcoming E906 experiment, designed to measure anti-up / anti-down quark distributions.

		MiniBooNE computers mount in AFS space and are part of the Laboratory’s computing community.
		The MiniBooNE DAQ trigger is driven mainly by the Booster beam spill, sampled by the Resistive Wall Monitor (RWM) that provides a trigger pulse to index an event (TSA and Q) for which readout will start.
		MiniBooNE uses a nearline monitoring system that operates on blueisland The MiniBooNE Analysis Framework is a modified system based on CDF and D0 application software.

	The Crackpot’s Mind » MiniBooNE Results are in
		I’m not a neutrino physicist, so I couldn’t give you very good information, but a blog entry by a guest writer for Cosmic Variance provides a pretty good description of what exactly is going on.
		Linked here is MiniBooNE’s published first results, the MiniBooNE website, and from there is a variety of discussions about neutrino physics.
		The content ranges in level from a neutrino physicist down to the interested layperson.

		MiniBooNE will investigate the question of neutrino mass by searching for neutrino oscillations from muon neutrinos to electron neutrinos.
		This will be done by directing a muon neutrino beam into the MiniBooNE detector and looking for electron neutrinos.
		This experiment is motivated by the oscillation results reported by the LSND experiment at Los Alamos.

	MiniBooNE detector (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The MiniBooNE detector is coming closer to receiving its first neutrinos, planned for later this year.
		The detector will observe neutrinos created from protons from the 8 GeV Booster at Fermilab, which is part of the system that normally accelerates protons to much higher energies (up to 1 TeV).
		The MiniBooNE detector is basically a 12-m diameter spherical steel tank filled with mineral oil that flashes light when charged particles travel through.

	Columbia News ::: Video ::: Physicists Conrad, Shaevitz Say Neutrino Experiment Could Shed Light on Supremacy of Matter
		The new MiniBooNE detector, an underground 250,000-gallon sphere filled with mineral oil at FermiLab, observed its first neutrino events this fall.
		In the coming months, the events its photodetectors continue to record could provide valuable information about why we exist, or why the universe is made of matter and not antimatter.
		Physics Professor Janet Conrad explains the recent observation of the changing characteristics of the "most elusive of all the fundamental particles," the neutrino, for which there are a million in every gallon of space.
