Title:   New Results on theta_13 from MINOS

Abstract:

MINOS is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment situated along Fermilab's high-intensity NuMI
neutrino beam. MINOS has completed an updated search for muon neutrino to electron neutrino transitions,
observation of which would indicate a non-zero value for the neutrino mixing angle theta_13. The present
7x10e20 protons-on-target data set represents more than double the exposure used in the previous analysis.
The new result and its implications are presented.
