Description
Neutrino physics has had a reemergence since the discovery of neutrino
masses and mixing slightly more than a decade ago. MINOS is the first high
precision long baseline accelerator experiment which has been taking beam
data now for over 5 years. Several landmark precision measurements of the
mixing parameters dm2 and sin22theta have been produced as well as limits
on searches for sterile neutrinos and the subdominant process numu->nue.
These results will be discussed. In the future, while the new experiments
are focussing on theta13, MINOS could measure with unprecedented
precision, the higher energy spectrum from which various new physics could
be identified. These plans will also be discussed.
