MINOS+: running MINOS in the NOVA era  

MINOS will be in a unique position to investigate with high precision the region of 
neutrino energy between 4-10GeV taking data in the NuMI beam while NOVA runs off-
axis. MINOS has already made a 5-10% measurement of the parameter Dm2 and a 10% 
measurement of the mixing matrix parameter. The measurements of these parameters 
using anti-neutrinos, while less precise, show a rather significant difference from those 
measured for neutrinos and this has led to predictions of Non-Standard Interactions 
(NSI). MINOS can continue to contribute on these measurements in the high power (700 
kW) NuMI-NOVA beam. The precision measurement of the spectrum can also be a 
microscope on completely new physics, such as NSI, sterile neutrinos and extra 
dimensions. Given that the idea of neutrino mass is still in its (relative) infancy, making 
high precision measurements in an otherwise green field region of phase space is exciting 
in itself.
