First results from the MINOS calibration detector

The MINOS calibration detector (CalDet) is a small version of the MINOS Near and Far neutrino detectors. A program of exposure to beams of muons, electrons, pions and protons at the CERN PS will provide calibration of the calorimetric and topological response of the Near and Far detectors. In this t...

Sumario:The MINOS calibration detector (CalDet) is a small version of the MINOS Near and Far neutrino detectors. A program of exposure to beams of muons, electrons, pions and protons at the CERN PS will provide calibration of the calorimetric and topological response of the Near and Far detectors. In this talk, we briefly discuss the goals and design of the CalDet and present first results from the initial beam exposure. (3 refs).
