Abstract

In complete form, MINOS will consist of an 8 kt iron-scintillator calorimeter and, possibly, a 1 kt hydrid emulsion detector. The first stage of an investigation using this as a neutrino factory detector is reported, with particular emphasis on ν_τ appearance. Using a number of important assumptions and highly unoptimized analyses, it is found that a limit in Δm² of 7.0×10^-4 eV² for sin² 2θ = 1 at 90% CL is achievable.
