Based in the NuMI beam line at Fermi National Laboratory, the on-axis MINERvA experiment is aimed at precision measurements of neutrino interactions in nuclei for energies up to 50 GeV. The experiment provides measurements of neutrino and antineutrino cross sections off of nuclear targets which are important for both neutrino oscillation experiments and probing of the nuclear medium. The most...

Neutrinos, the quarry of the MINERvA experiment, are subtle and difficult to capture. Accelerator base oscillation experiments look for electron neutrino appearance, where a neutrino is observed to interact in the electron-type state rather than in the produced muon-type state. This observation is based on the observation of a produced electron and absence of a produced muon in the detector....

Minerva is a precision cross section experiment for neutrino scattering processes on various nuclei. Charged-Current Quasi-Elastic (CCQE) cross sections are relevant for neutrino oscillation experiments such as T2K, NOvA and DUNE. This talk describes how MINERvA's nuclear targets are used to measure the scaling in CCQE-like event rates as function of target nucleus. CCQE-like is defined as...

The Accelerator Neutrino Nucleus Interaction Experiment (ANNIE) has
recently completed its first phase of data taking. The main physics
goals of ANNIE, to be completed in the upcoming Phase II, are a
measurement of the neutron abundance from neutrino-nucleus
interactions, and a charged-current inclusive cross-section
measurement on Oxygen. To achieve these goals the collaboration...

The primary physics goal of Phase II of the Accelerator Neutrino Neutron
Interaction Experiment (ANNIE), is to measure the nuclear final states from
neutrino interactions in water, with a particular focus on the production and
multiplicity of final-state neutrons. The detector sits in the SciBooNE Hall,
on Fermilab's Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB). The upgraded detector will have...
