MINERvA: Bringing Neutrinos into Sharp Focusspacer

spacer

MINERvA is a neutrino scattering experiment which uses the NuMI beamline at Fermilab.

MINERvA seeks to measure low energy neutrino interactions both in support of neutrino oscillation experiments and also to study the strong dynamics of the nucleon and nucleus that affect these interactions.

MINERvA completed construction and installation of its modules in the NuMI near detector hall in March 2010. We are busily collecting neutrino and anti-neutrino interaction events and working to understand them.

4 April 2011: MINERvA receives DOE Award MINERvA received the 2011 Secretary of Energy's Award of Achievement. The citation reads, in part, "The MINERvA team demonstrated outstanding dedication and ingenuity in developing and implementing an extremely successful prototyping campaign that successfully integrated primary detector components fabricated at multiple, geographically diverse universities... The project team is to be commended for a job well done." (read more)
