Abstract
The design of the MINERνAdetectoris presented.Wegiveanoverviewofthe detector.We describethe optical system, giving details on the scintillator, the optical cabling and fibers, the PMTs, and the PMT housing.Wegive 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. © 2012 Published by Elsevier B.V.
