Description
Precise understanding of neutrino-nucleus interactions are required by the next generation of long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments to answer outstanding questions in neutrino physics. MINERvA is a neutrino scattering experiment at Fermilab that measures cross sections in various nuclear targets using a segmented scintillator based tracking detector and two types of calorimeters. MINERvA has published results using low energy data and medium energy data, for both neutrino and anti-neutrino muon NuMI beam modes. A brief description of the MINERvA experiment and highlights of recent results will be presented.
