Recent results from the MINERνA experiment
Description
In the era of the fastest-growing technology in the field of particle accelerators and detectors, the scope of neutrino physics is expanding very rapidly. The neutrino oscillation parameters are being measured with a higher degree of precision. The precision of these oscillation parameters directly depend on the neutrino-nucleus cross section measurements done by various experiments with multiple nuclear targets. One of these few experiments is the MINERνA, a dedicated neutrino-nucleus interaction experiment at Fermilab which took data from 2009 to 2019 for both neutrino and antineutrino scattering in the low-energy and medium energy peaking around 3 GeV and 6 GeV, respectively. This article will cover some recent inclusive measurements from the MINERνA experiment. These results will provide a strong basis for future experiments like DUNE and help in improving the measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters. (author)
