Mini- Booster Neutrino Experiment (MiniBooNE)

Physics; Particle physics

This experiment, based at Fermilab, represents the first stage of the BooNE experiment. It is searching for oscillations between muon and electron neutrinos. If an encouraging signal is seen at ...

MINOS (Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search)

Physics; Particle physics

An experiment, that uses an accelerator at Fermilab to send a beam of neutrinos to the Soudan Mine to search for the oscillation of muon neutrinos.

Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (NSAC)

Physics; Particle physics

NSAC reports to the DOE (Department of Energy) and the National Science Foundation.

National Science Foundation (NSF)

Physics; Particle physics

One of the principal federal agencies supporting research in the physical sciences in the United States. Through its Division of Physics it provides approximately 30% of the support of the university ...

NuMI (Neutrinos at the Main Injector)

Physics; Particle physics

A project at Fermilab to construct a beam of neutrinos for use in the MINOS experiment.

Physics Advisory Committee (PAC)

Physics; Particle physics

Each accelerator laboratory has a PAC to conduct rigorous reviews on proposed experiments and advise the laboratory director on the laboratory's program.

Picobarn (pb)

Physics; Particle physics

10 -12 barns. A unit used to measure cross-section. The inverse of this unit is used to measure integrated luminosity.
