Abstract:

MINERvA is a dedicated neutrino-nucleus interaction experiment at Fermilab that took data from 2009-2019. MINERvA has made, and continues to make a wide range of measurements that inform the development of neutrino-nucleus interaction models that are used in current and future neutrino oscillation experiments. MINERvA has a wide range of different target nuclei ranging from hydrogen (in the plastic scintillator) to helium to carbon to water to iron and lead. This talk will summarise recent cross-section results from MINERvA as well as our neutrino-electron flux measurement.
