The MINERvA experiment is a dedicated neutrino scattering experiment located on the NuMI beamline in Fermilab. It aims to make high precision measurement of neutrino interaction cross sections in the 1-to 10-GeV energy range, to support the current and future oscillation experiments as well as to provide information about the structure of nuclei, protons and neutrons and the strong force...

MINERvA is a neutrino scattering experiment designed for high precision measurements of cross sections and studies of nuclear effects. Charged-current quasielastic (CCQE) scattering events are a significant contribution to the signal of many oscillation experiments. It is the dominant reaction near 1 GeV, a critical energy region for long baseline oscillation experiments. MINERvA has conducted...

Charged-current quasielastic (CCQE) scattering events are one of the most numerous and most important categories of neutrino interactions available to us today to study neutrino cross sections and oscillations. This presentation will cover the progress of the Minerva collaboration towards fully leveraging the awesome statistics that the NuMI 'Medium Energy' exposure has to offer. Data...

MINERvA is a neutrino scattering experiment that uses the NuMI beamline with the goal of measuring neutrino-nucleus cross sections on targets of different materials with high precision, as well as studying the internal structure of the nuclei of those materials. Among the different kinds of neutrino interactions that could occur in the detector, charged and neutral pion production are...

Many analyses in neutrino experiments require the reconstruction of neutral pions, particularly neutrino oscillation experiments measuring $\nu_{e}$ appearance, where $pi^0$ production is a background. Neutral pions are identified in the MINER$\nu$A detector by identifying the gammas that result from the neutral pion decay. The gamma candidates are energy depositions which are not associated...

Charged Current Coherent pion production is a rare neutrino reaction producing a forward muon and a forward charged pion while leaving the target nucleus in its initial state. On its own, it provides a way to study the weak axial vector current, by testing theories such as PCAC and related models. After the discovery of neutrino oscillations, coherent pion production has become an important...

NOvA is a long-baseline (810 km) neutrino oscillation experiment. It uses a NuMI neutrino beam from Fermilab and two mostly active, segmented, liquid scintillator off-axis detectors that offer a remarkable capability in event identification. The 293 ton Near Detector at Fermilab is to measure the unoscillated neutrino energy spectrum, which can be used to predict the neutrino energy spectrum...

We present an update to the progress of the measurement of the electron neutrino charged-current inclusive cross section per nucleon with data collected from November 2014 to February 2017 in the NOvA near detector. The NOvA near detector, located at Fermilab 800m from the primary target, provides an excellent platform to measure and study neutrino interactions and cross sections. We are...

The NOvA experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment designed to measure the rates of electron neutrino appearance and muon neutrino disappearance. The NOvA near detector is located at Fermilab, 800~m from the primary target and provides an excellent platform to measure and study neutrino interaction and cross sections. We present the status of the measurement of the double...
