Final Activity Report Summary - NOLBE (Neutrino Oscillations in long-baseline accelerator experiments)
The project helped the fellow, previously awarded the Marie Curie Individual Fellowship, in reintegration with the host institution, the University of Warsaw. The computer system, including hardware and software, to effectively work on the project has been created. The reported work concerns the effective, low-background separation of different types of neutrino interactions in MINOS, the long-baseline accelerator experiment. A novel, 3D approach to the reconstruction of tracks in the MINOS detectors has been developed to increase the separation power between electron-neutrino charged current, neutral current and muon-neutrino induced charged current neutrino interactions.

Project objective
The observation of oscillations of muon-neutrinos into electron-neutrinos or setting the tight limit on that process is of fundamental importance for particle physics. The main research objective of the project is to apply and develop the methods of effective, low-background separation of electron-neutrino interaction in the long-baseline detectors MINOS and ICARUS.The project is designed to help in the integration with neutrino group from Warsaw University. This goal will be achieved in two ways: by app lying the knowledge acquired while working for the MINOS experiment and by active participation in construction of the ICARUS detector.
