Description
Since ending data collection in 2019 and the subsequent decommissioning of its detector, the MINERvA collaboration has turned its focus towards the long term preservation of its neutrino scattering data and tools for its analysis in parallel with the active ongoing analysis of that data. This preservation project includes the development of the MINERvA Analysis Toolkit (MAT) which centralizes how systematic uncertainties are handled and contains comprehensive cross section analysis tools open to the HEP community for use and development. Additionally, the data and simulated samples are processed into a standardized Master Ana Dev (MAD) tuple for use by analyzers. These standard tuples allow the total MINERvA data and simulation to be centralized and compact for long term use and storage. The MAT and MADTuples together represent the strategy for preserving MINERvA’s legacy, one that is open for the public to develop and use. An overview of this ongoing data preservation effort will be presented.
