MINERvA: A High Statistics, Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering Experiment in the
     NuMI Beam at Fermilab

Abstract:

    The extremely intense NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab, 
constructed for the MINOS Neutrino Oscillation Experiment,
is an ideal beam for a high-statistics, low-energy neutrino
scattering experiment.  The MINERvA Collaboration has received 
Stage I approval to put a fine-grained scintillator detector 
directly upstream of the MINOS near detector to study topics 
of interest to both particle and nuclear physicists. The NuMI 
facility, beam, proposed detector, physics topics, costs and 
schedule will be discussed.
