====About other neutrino experiments==== The MiniBooNE detector was a {{convert|40|ft|m|adj=on}} diameter sphere containing 800 tons of mineral oil lined with 1,520 [[photomultiplier|phototube detectors]]. An estimated 1 million neutrino events were recorded each year. SciBooNE sat in the same [[Accelerator neutrino|neutrino beam]] as MiniBooNE but had fine-grained tracking capabilities. The NOνA experiment uses, and the MINOS experiment used, Fermilab's [[NuMI]] (Neutrinos at the Main Injector) beam, which is an intense beam of neutrinos that travels {{convert|455|mi|km}} through the Earth to the [[Soudan Mine]] in [[Minnesota]] and the Ash River, Minnesota, site of the NOνA far detector. In 2017, the [[ICARUS experiment|ICARUS neutrino experiment]] was moved from [[CERN]] to Fermilab.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://news.fnal.gov/2015/04/icarus-neutrino-experiment-to-move-to-fermilab/|title=ICARUS neutrino experiment to move to Fermilab|date=April 22, 2015}}</ref><ref name="symmertry">{{cite web|url=https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/icarus-prepares-to-chase-a-fourth-neutrino|title=ICARUS prepares to chase a fourth neutrino|first=Catherine N.|last=Steffel|date=March 2, 2020|access-date=March 3, 2020|publisher=symmetrymagazine.org}}</ref>
