High Energy Accelerator Neutrinos Accelerator neutrinos with well defined energy spectra : - significantly improve Neutrino Telescope performance - important role in neutrino physics. VLVnT - sensitive to high energy neutrinos (above ~ 50-100 GeV ) Currently several experiments performed/ planned with high energy accelerator neutrinos: K2K, NuMI/MINOS, CNGS, T2K Long-baseline neutrino experiments.
