![]() This nuclear research complements ongoing efforts at other laboratories that are studying how electrons interact with nuclei. MINERvA’s neutrino interaction measurements also provide information about the structure of protons and neutrons and the strong force dynamics that affect neutrino-nucleon interactions. MINERvA’s results are being used as inputs to current and future experiments seeking to study neutrino oscillations, or the ability of neutrinos to change their type. MINERvA is providing the world’s best, high-precision measurements of neutrino interactions on various nuclei, in the 1-to 10-GeV energy range. While this type of study has previously been done using beams of electrons, this is a first for neutrinos. MINERvA (Main Injector Neutrino ExpeRiment to study v-A interactions) is the first neutrino experiment in the world to use a high-intensity beam to study neutrino reactions with five different nuclei, creating the first self-contained comparison of interactions in different elements. ![]()
