Abstract

This visit is dedicated to fulfill the shift assignments for MINOS at Fermilab, from Dec. 10 through 16. The days before the shifts are for training. Time not spent on shift will be used for data analysis activities and discussing nitrogen fluorescence yield measurements that were done at Fermilab and are planned to be realized at USP in 2011 at lower energies.
