In addition to high energy collider physics, Fermilab is also host to a number of smaller fixed-target and neutrino experiments, such as MiniBooNE ( Mini Booster Neutrino Experiment ), SciBooNE ( SciBar Booster Neutrino Experiment ) and MINOS ( Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search ).
The MiniBooNE detector is a diameter sphere which contains 800 tons of mineral oil lined with 1520 individual phototube detectors.
An estimated 1 million neutrino events are recorded each year.
SciBooNE is the newest neutrino experiment at Fermilab ; it sits in the same neutrino beam as MiniBooNE but has fine-grained tracking capabilities.
The MINOS experiment uses Fermilab's NuMI ( Neutrinos at the Main Injector ) beam, which is an intense beam of neutrinos that travels through the Earth to the Soudan Mine in Minnesota.
