MINOS (Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search) is an accelerator-based long-baseline experiment designed to measure the properties of neutrino oscillations. MINOS will be able to provide a greater understanding of neutrino oscillations by making precision measurements of the neutrino mixing parameters in the atmospheric Δm2 range. A neutrino beam generated by the NuMI facility at Fermilab is directed towards the Soudan Mine, located 735 km away in northern Minnesota. The MINOS Near Detector at Fermilab measures the neutrino beam energy spectrum, which is then extrapolated to predict the non-oscillated neutrino energy spectrum at the Far Detector located in the Soudan Mine. The ratio of the observed energy spectrum to the predicted energy spectrum at the Far Detector provides the measurement of Δm2atm and sin22θatm. MINOS has been taking data from the neutrinos delivered through the NuMI beamline since early 2005. In this talk, I present the physics goals, the current status of the experiment and the analysis of the first year of data.
