Line 3: '''MINOS''' (or '''Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search''') is an [[particle physics]] experiment designed to study the phenomena of [[neutrino oscillation]]s, first discovered by [[Super-Kamiokande]] experiment in 1998. [[Neutrino]]s produced at [[Fermilab]] by the [[NuMI]] (Neutrinos at Main Injector) beamline are observed at two detectors, one very close to where the beam is produced (the ''near detector''), and another much larger detector 735 km away in northern Minnesota (the ''far detector''). On [[March 30]] [[2006]], the MINOS collaboration announced that the analysis of the initial data, collected in 2005, is consistent with neutrino oscillations, with the oscillation parameters which are consistent with Super-K measurements.[http://www.fnal.gov/pub/presspass/press_releases/minos_3-30-06.html]~~, with the oscillation parameters which are consistent with Super-K measurements.~~ ==Detectors==
