The NuMI Facility at Fermilab is providing an extremely intense beam of neutrinos for the MINOS Neutrino Oscillation Experiment. It an ideal place for a high statistics (anti)neutrino‐nucleon/nucleus scattering experiments, and the MINERνA experiment, a collaboration of elementary‐particle and nuclear physicists, is planning to install a fully active fine‐grained solid scintillator detector in this beam. The overall goals of the experiment are to measure absolute exclusive cross‐sections, study nuclear effects in ν − A interactions and perform a systematic study of the resonance‐DIS transition region including the extraction of high‐x Bj parton distribution functions at low Q2.
