    Description
    The extremely intense NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab, constructed for the MINOS Neutrino Oscillation Experiment, enables a high-statistics scattering experiment to study many topics of interest to both nuclear and particle physicists. A detailed study of low-energy neutrino-nucleus interactions is of particular importance for the analysis of neutrino oscillation experimental results. A proposal to put a fine-grained scintillator detector directly upstream of the MINOS near detector will be presented. The NuMI facility, beam, proposed detector, physics topics, costs and schedule will be discussed.
