The MINERvA
Experiment at FermiLab: an Overview (from nuclear physicist's
perspective)
Abstract The recently-approved MINERvA Experiment at FermiLab is a high statistics, high resolution, neutrino and anti-neutrino - nucleon /nucleus scattering experiment. MINERvA will measure neutrino crosssections and probe nuclear effects essential to present and futureneutrino oscillation experiments. Moreover, with the intense neutrinobeam provided by the NuMI facility, the experiment will be able to addressa wide variety of neutrino topics of interest to both the elementaryparticle physics and nuclear physics communities - including form factors,duality, and the EMC effect. An overview of the experiment will beprovided, with some emphasis on measurements of interest to the nuclearphysics community. |
