MINERvA

MINERvA is a neutrino scattering experiment that uses the NuMI beamline at Fermilab. It seeks to measure low energy neutrino interactions both in support of neutrino oscillation experiments and also to study the strong dynamics of the nucleon and nucleus that affect these interactions. MINERvA is currently in its final prototyping stage and is preparing for full-scale construction. The first detector module was completed in early 2006, the experiment plans to begin taking data in 2009.
