Is anyone here involved in MINOS? A couple of the graduate schools I've applied to have professors who are involved in this experiment, and I would be interested in becoming involved as a graduate student. So I'd be interested to hear about some of the results that have already come out of MINOS, and what projects will be looked at in the future.

A Google search turns up links to MINOS web sites at Fermilab and U of Minnesota, among others, which should have information about recent developments:

Interesting you mention the U of M. Actually I did my undergrad at the U of Minnesota, and I've applied to their graduate program as well. So I've heard a bit about MINOS during my time here. Do you know what other universities are involved in this experiment?

The first hit on the Google search results page that I referenced, is the MINOS site at Fermilab, which has on its home page a link to the following press release about recent results:

Near the bottom, you'll see a list of participating institutions.

Oh, I didn't see that. Thanks.

I'm involved in MINOS, although I'm relatively new to the experiment. My 'big picture' knowledge of the experiment doesn't go much beyond that press release, but I am currently learning about and doing work on Monte Carlo simulations of the detectors.
