Abstract
The MINERνA collaboration is currently engaged in a broad program of neutrino-nucleus interaction measurements. Several recent measurements of interest to the accelerator-based oscillation community are presented. These include measurements of quasi-elastic scattering, diffractive pion production, kaon production and comparisons of interaction cross sections across nuclei. A new measurement of the NuMI neutrino beam flux that incorporates both external hadro-production data and MINERνA detector data is also presented. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

This work was supported by the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory under US Department of Energy contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 which included the MINERvA construction project. Construction support also was granted by the United States National Science Foundation under 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/IGI-UNI (Peru), by Latin American Center for Physics (CLAF). We thank the MINOS Collaboration for use of its near detector data. Finally, we thank Fermilab for support of the beamline and the detector, and in particular the Scientific Computing Division and the Particle Physics Division for support of data processing.
