Abstract

The MINOS experiment uses the NuMI ν_μ beam to make precise measurements of neutrino flavor oscillations in the "atmospheric" neutrino sector. MINOS can also probe the yet-unknown neutrino mixing angle θ₁₃ by searching for a ν_e appearance signal in the ν_μ beam. This paper reviews the techniques developed for the first ν_e appearance analysis in MINOS.
