MINERvA

The Universities Research Association recognizes Fermilab scientist Laura Fields for her contributions to the field of accelerator-based neutrino physics. She co-leads the MINERvA experiment, which is making measurements necessary for tuning models of neutrino interactions used in ongoing and future neutrino experiments, and helped design a new focusing system for Fermilab’s LBNF neutrino beam.

On Feb. 26, a team on Fermilab’s MINERvA neutrino experiment gathered around a computer screen to officially conclude its data acquisition. Even with the data collection over, the work marches on. MINERvA now turns its attention to analyzing the data it has collected over the past nine years of its run.

The MINERvA neutrino experiment has a new crime scene investigation technique, one that takes a hard look at the traces that particles leave before fleeing the scene. Researchers used a new technique in a recent MINERvA neutrino investigation. And the new insights they gained on the workings of nuclear effects can help other neutrino experiments.

From iNGENET, Sept. 4, 2018: En entrevista con la Agencia Informativa Conacyt, el profesor e investigador de la División de Ciencias e Ingenierías campus León, de la Universidad de Guanajuato, Julián Félix Valdez, destacó el papel de los proyectos, las colaboraciones y participación de los estudiantes de este laboratorio, además de la creación de tecnología propia para la exploración del mundo físico.

Fermilab’s MINERvA experiment gives a boost to the particle physics field by sharpening a model of a frequent, pesky phenomenon.

Neutral-pion production is a major character in a story of mistaken identity worthy of an Agatha Christie novel.

MINERvA measures the energy a neutrino imparts to protons and neutrons inside a heavy nucleus.

Laura Fields looks forward to supporting MINERvA’s early-career researchers and to being a good role model for women in the collaboration

The puzzle: understanding how nearly undetectable particles, called neutrinos, interact with normal matter. The solution? The clever MINERvA experiment, which shares its name with the Roman goddess of wisdom.

The 27th International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics, commonly called Neutrino 2016, will bring together scientists from experiments around the world. Scientists working with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will give numerous presentations at Neutrino 2016 and unveil some significant results.
