Measuring Nuclear Effects with MINERvA

ORAL

Abstract

MINER$\nu$A (Main INjector Experiment for $\nu$-A) is a neutrino scattering experiment in the 1-10 GeV energy range in the NuMI high-intensity neutrino beam at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. MINER$\nu$A is now taking data and it was designed to measure neutrino-nucleus cross sections on a variety of different materials (C, Fe, Pb, He, H2O) allowing the study of nuclear effects and the A- dependence in neutrino interactions. This talk will present the current status in the analysis of inclusive charge current events in the iron, lead, and plastic targets.
