Abstract

The results from the initial exposure of the MINOS detectors to neutrinos produced by the Fermilab NuMI beam are reported here. The exposure consisted of 1.27×1020 120 GeV protons incident on the NuMI target. The data show the observation of 215 neutrinos with energies below 30 GeV while 336±14.4 events were expected. The data are consistent with νμ disappearance via neutrino oscillations with and sin22θ23>0.87 (68% C.L.).
