ABSTRACT: The MINOS experiment is a long-baseline, neutrino-oscillation
experiment. In total, 28000 m<sup>2</sup> of scintillator is needed for
the experiment. This is almost 300 tons of finished scintillator. The
solution has been the development of an extruded scintillator with a 2
mm deep grove in the upper surface for a wavelength-shifting fiber and a
co-extruded TiO<sub>2</sub> coating as a reflector. The TiO<sub>2</sub>
coating also allows the scintillator to be directly epoxied into panels.
Production and quality control techniques are presented
