摘要
MINERvA 实验旨在利用 Fermilab NuMI 束流中入射能量为 1-20 GeV 的 和 中微子，进行中微子 - 原子核散射的精密研究。本文详细介绍了 \minerva 探测器，并描述了用于表征探测器及监测其性能的 {\em ex situ} 和 {\em in situ} 技术。该探测器由精细分割的基于闪烁体的内部径迹区组成，周围环绕着电磁和强子采样量能器。探测器的上游部分包括穿插在径迹平面之间的石墨、铁和铅平面，以促进对中微子相互作用中核效应的研究。报告了关于探测器在长期运行期间响应的观测结果。该探测器的设计与运行方法对于未来利用分割闪烁体径迹技术的中微子实验具有参考意义。
