Testing the maximal nature of muon neutrino flavor mixing.
The small difference between the survival probabilities of muon neutrino and antineutrino beams, traveling through Earth matter in a long baseline experiment such as MINOS, is shown to be an important measure of any possible deviation from maximality in the flavor mixing of those states.
