MiniBooNE

The primary goal of the MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois is to test for neutrino mass by searching for neutrino oscillations. Neutrino mass is important because it may lead us to physics beyond the Standard Model. Masses in the range accessible to MiniBooNE will expand our understanding of how the universe has evolved.
