Abstract

MINERvA is employing multiple tools to understand its neutrino beam flux. We utilize external hadron production data, but we also depend heavily on in situ techniques in which we reduce our hadron production uncertainties by tuning our Monte Carlo to both MINERvA detector data and muon monitor data.
