Abstract

The next generation of neutrino experiments at accelerators aims to establish matter-antimatter asymmetry in neutrino flavor oscillations. Precision oscillation measurements require inference of neutrino fluxes as a function of flavor and energy from the products of O(GeV) neutrino interactions on nuclei. 

 I’ll discuss some recent results from the MINERvA experiment and how they help with this inference.
