MiniBooNE
MiniBooNE
is an experiment at
Fermilab
designed to observe
neutrino oscillations
(BooNE is an acronym for the
Booster
Neutrino
Experiment
). A
neutrino
beam consisting primarily of
muon neutrinos
is directed at a detector filled with 800 tons of
mineral oil
(ultrarefined
methylene
compounds) and lined with 1,280
photomultiplier tubes
. An excess of electron neutrino
events
in the detector would support the neutrino oscillation interpretation of the
LSND
(Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector) result.
