Neutrino oscillation physics has now progressed from the observations of
nature's neutrinos to controlled experiments where neutrinos with known
properties are created and measured at a particle accelerator and measured
again at a distance long enough to allow the neutrinos to oscillate. This
talk will give the latest results from the MINOS experiment which is now
running with a beam of neutrinos created and characterized at Fermilab and
then measured again at the Soudan Underground Laboratory in Northern
Minnesota. It will also discuss the design of a new experiment, NOVA,
which will use this same neutrino beam but will measure different neutrino
properties, the Theta13 oscillation, that may lead an understanding of the
neutrino mass spectrum and perhaps to CP violation.
