[time-nuts] MINOS Status on Measuring Neutrino Velocity

2012-02-22 Thread Marvin Marshak
The MINOS Collaboration has made progress in its effort to use the Fermilab to Soudan MN neutrino beam to investigate the effect reported by the OPERA Collaboration of neutrinos travelling faster than the speed of light. The current MINOS methodology has two parts: (1) to retrospectively

Marvin , Sounds like you're making great progress on a nanosecond timing system. Question: what are you doing with the Novatel data? Is it used to error correct later on or are you using it to steer in near real time? Answer: on the 5071A serial port; I issue a SYST:PRINT? command every 5
