Event details
MINERvA is a dedicated (anti)neutrino-nucleus cross-section experiment which operated in the NuMI beamline at Fermilab from 2009 to 2019. Its measurements in the few-GeV regime provide crucial inputs into the neutrino interaction models used not only by current but also by future generations of oscillation experiments. I will briefly discuss the necessity of improving our understanding of the neutrino-nucleus interactions in the context of future oscillation experiments. I will provide an example illustrating how MINERvA performs a cross-section measurement and discuss recent results from MINERvA’s neutrino and antineutrino scattering sample, including its flux constraints and measurements of exclusive final states across different nuclei.
