Zusammenfassung:The NuMI Facility at Fermilab will provide an extremely intense beam of neutrinos for the MINOS neutrino oscillation experiment. The status and expected results of the MINOS experiment will be reviewed. As a next step in the study of neutrino oscillation parameters, an experiment designed to detect the sub-dominant vd micro right arrow vde oscillation has been proposed and will be briefly described. Finally, to accurately interpret the experimental results and minimize the systematic error of neutrino oscillation experiments, as well as investigate a poorly studied aspect of neutrino physics, a high-statistics neutrino scattering experiment off various nuclei has been proposed. The physics and conceptual detector design of this experiment will be outlined.
