The design of the MINERνA detector is presented. We give an overview of the detector. We describe the optical system,
giving details on the scintillator, the optical cabling and fibers, the PMTs, and the PMT housing. We give details on the
electronics. We describe the assembled component, called the module, which gets inserted into the detector. We give
details on the quality control of the modules and present documentation showing the performance of the detector
Descripción
This work was supported by the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, which is operated by the Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359, including the MINERvA construction project, with the United States Department of Energy. Construction support also was granted by the United States National Science Foundation under NSF Award PHY-0619727 and by the University of Rochester. Support for participating scientists was provided by NSF and DOE (USA) by CAPES and CNPq (Brazil), by CoNaCyT (Mexico), by CONICYT (Chile), by CONCYTEC, DGI-PUCP and IDI-UNI (Peru), and by Latin American Center for Physics (CLAF). Additional support came from Jeffress Memorial Trust (MK), and Research Corporation (EM). Finally, we are grateful to the staff of Fermilab for their contributions to this effort.
