People working hard in order to meet

the schedule.

InstallationInstallation

Final installation phase started on January 4, 2010.

Scheduled to be finished by early March 2010.

A new Linux DAQ system is being comissioned and will be used for new detector check-out.

We intend to keep collecting beam data with the old DAQ system while the installation proceeds over the next ~7 weeks.

Tracking Prototype Neutrino RunTracking Prototype Neutrino Run

TP: 24 modules installed (~20% of full detector) for a prototype run.

Allow us testing the detector design and performance.

Took ~4 x 1019 POT between April 15 – June 15.

About 20k events, a lot of physics to be done (and publishable!).

Thesis:• One Ms. Thesis complete (construction

and installation).• Several Ph.D. Thesis under development.

TP data has been analyzed for past several months.

• Develop calibrations techniques and software implementations.

• Track reconstruction and neutrino event selection.

• A large coordinated effort to scan “by eye” the neutrino candidates in tracking volume was performed.

Real data event: quasi-elastic candidate.

The “Frozen” DetectorThe “Frozen” Detector

Paused installation November 12th, 2009 to take antineutrino data.

55% of the final detector fully instrumented.

64 detector modules: 34 tracking + 10 ECAL + 20 HCAL.

272 PMT's installed. 272 x 64 = 17,408 channels.

One nuclear target module (Fe, Pb) has been included in the installation.

Data collectionData collection

The Frozen Detector has been running very smoothly, and currently is collecting data 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the NuMI beam.

We will continue taking antineutrino data during the final installation phase.

SummarySummary

Detector construction: complete!

Started final installation phase of full MINERνA detector (schedu

led to be finished by March, 2010).

About 55% of full MINERνA detector is installed and currently taking 24 hours a day, 7 days a week of antineutrino data.

Will keep collecting antineutrino data during the winter installation period.

Data analysis efforts are growing and getting mature.

The MINERνA experiment is on schedule, thanks to your support!
