MINOS Collaboration
The MINOS far detector offers a unique opportunity to measure whether atmospheric anti-neutrinos oscillate in the same way as neutrinos. Recently, enough of the far detector has been installed to permit work to start on neutrino analysis of the data. Preliminary analyses suggest that backgrounds for contained events may be unacceptably high for atmospheric neutrino analysis without a veto shield for downgoing muons. We propose to construct a veto shield around the far detector using either MINOS scintillator system components and/or Soudan 2 veto shield components.
