First Results for Electron Neutrino Appearance in MINOS

The MINOS long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment has obtained our
first results in the search for electron neutrino appearance in a muon
neutrino beam.  The technique used to select electron neutrino events as
well as the method for obtaining a background prediction based on near
detector data will be described.  I will present the results including
the 90% C.L. contours in theta13, the only unknown neutrino mixing
angle.
