Abstract content

The 5.4 kT MINOS Far Detector (Fardet) has accumulated 45 million
cosmic-ray induced muon tracks since it began operation in 2003. An analysis of the muon flux in the direction of the Moon and Sun, which both obscure a circular disc of similar radius as viewed from Earth, have revealed statistically significant deficits. The shadow of the moon has been used to establish the alignment and resolution of the Fardet for cosmic ray analysis.
