Description

The MINOS(+) experiment has pioneered the two-detector method used for neutrino oscillation physics widely used today. It collected data from 2005 to 2016 using two tracking iron scintillator calorimeters, a Near detector close to the NuMI neutrino beam source at Fermilab, and a Far detector 735km away, deep underground in the Soudan Mine in Minnesota. An improved analysis of the full beam data set will be presented, looking at how different phenomena such as meson-exchange-currents may affect the MINOS results, and also how the results are affected by applying external data constraints.
