The MiniBooNE detector

The MiniBooNE neutrino detector was designed and built to look for V mu -> V-e oscillations in the (sin(2) 20, Delta m(2),) parameter space region where the LSND experiment reported a signal. The MiniBooNE experiment used a beam energy and baseline that were an order of magnitude larger than thos...

Sumario:The MiniBooNE neutrino detector was designed and built to look for V mu -> V-e oscillations in the (sin(2) 20, Delta m(2),) parameter space region where the LSND experiment reported a signal. The MiniBooNE experiment used a beam energy and baseline that were an order of magnitude larger than those of LSND so that the backgrounds and systematic errors Would be completely different. This paper provides a detailed description of the design, function, and performance of the MiniBooNE detector.
