Welcome to the Indiana University Neutrino and Particle Astrophysics (DoE Task C) web page. The two primary areas of emphasis in the Task C research program are the study of neutrino masses and mixing, and the study of ‘dark energy’. These two research topics are among the most active and exciting in the field of particle physics and astrophysics today. The study of neutrino mixing is carried out through our work on the MINOS/MIPP and NOvA experiments, while the SNAP experiment promises to significantly extend our knowledge of the mass and energy budget of the Universe, in particular the dark energy component. For more information about each of these areas of research activity in our group,visit the links listed on the left.

	The SNAP experiment will explore the nature of dark energy via measurements of super-nova explosions in distant galaxies.			The NuMI/MINOS (FNAL E875) experiment has started making observations of atmospheric neutrinos and, using a powerful beam of neutrinos produced at Fermilab, will make a detailed study of the mode and parameters which account for the atmospheric neutrino deficits.
	The NOvA experiment is the next long baseline experiment in the NuMI neutrino program at Fermilab. It will search for evidence of oscillations of muon neutrinos to electron neutrinos which hold the key to questions about the neutrino mass hierarchy and CP violation.			The MIPP experiment (FNAL E907) is a fixed target experiment closely tied to the NuMI/MINOS experiment. MIPP will make measurements of the hadron-nucleus interactions used to produce the neutrino beam used by MINOS.
