MUSE Collaboration data taking ends and analysis begins

MUSE collected data to measure the cosmic ray rate at MINOS from early April to May 26th.  They studied the cosmic ray rate underground as a function of the distance from the accee shaft.  A dozen students and five teachers from five schools designed and operated three detectors: two in the MINOS tunnel 105 m underground and one to monitor rates at the surface.  The position of detectors in the tunnel were changed every weekend. Initial results of the change of cosmic rays versus distance from the access shaft, rates versus depth and detection of the neutrino beam have been obtained.
