MINERνA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Main Injector Experiment for ν-A, or MINERνA, is a neutrino scattering experiment which uses the NuMI beamline at Fermilab. MINERνA 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.[1]

[edit] Status

As of 2007, MINERνA is in its final prototyping stage and is preparing for full-scale construction. The first detector module was completed in early 2006 and data taking is scheduled to begin in 2009.[1]
