Description
The MINERvA experiment, located in the NuMI beamline at Fermilab, is a dedicated neutrino scattering experiment. That main goal is make high precision measurements of neutrino interaction cross sections in the 1 to 20 GeV energy range, to support current and future oscillation experiments. MINERvA also provides information about the structure of protons and neutrons, and the dynamics that affect neutrino-nucleus interactions. The heart of the MINERvA detector is a fine-grained scintillator tracking chamber, surrounded by electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters. Carbon, Iron and Lead targets are used to study the effect of the nuclear medium on neutrino-induced interactions. This talk presents a summary of the more recent MINERvA results.
