From Axial Form Factors to Pb with MINERvA
ORAL · Invited
Abstract
Over the next decade, experiments such as NOvA, T2K, DUNE, and Hyper-Kamiokande will seek to answer big questions such as what role neutrinos play in the matter/antimatter asymmetry of the universe. They will do this by observing neutrino interactions with nuclei and will require extremely accurate models of these interactions. The MINERvA experiment at Fermilab was designed to provide precise inputs to these models. A key feature of the detector is its nuclear target region, which allows measurement of neutrino scattering on helium, carbon, iron, lead, water, and hydrocarbon. MINERvA has collected over a decade of data using neutrino and antineutrino beams and in two different energy tunes. Several recent measurements from these datasets will be presented, including simultaneous measurements on multiple different nuclei and a novel measurement of the nucleon axial vector form factor.
