A status report of the MINI experiment.
Abstract
A telescope to detect and to track cosmic muons has been built by the MINI collaboration in the laboratory of the Physics Department of the University of Bari. The telescope has been partially equipped using gaseous detectors developed with a recently proposed technique (RPC). To debug the hardware a first technical run was performed around the middle of May 1990. Physics runs will start during next summer. The assembly of the telescope will be completed before the end of the year. A short presentation of the telescope layout and a preliminary report of its behaviour in this very early set up phase are given.
