MINERνA (Miniboone Neutrino Experiment at the Fermilab) is a neutrino experiment located at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois. Its primary goal is to study neutrino interactions, particularly focusing on the properties of neutrinos and their interactions with matter. MINERνA uses a beam of neutrinos produced from protons accelerated in the Fermilab accelerator complex, which collide with a target to produce pions that subsequently decay into neutrinos.
