Neutrino Interactions: Results by Neutrino 2012 and Beyond

These proceedings will first explain why the fields of both particle and nuclear physics are demanding a better understanding of neutrino interactions. Then they will list the ingredients that go into an effective neutrino interaction program worldwide, and describe how the new and upcoming neutrino interaction experiments and related efforts help to provide those ingredients. In particular, the MINERνA experiment is a dedicated neutrino interaction experiment designed to study neutrino interactions on several different nuclear targets using a fine-grained scintillator detector and is currently taking data at the NuMI beamline at Fermilab. The T2K 280m Off Axis Near Detector at J-PARC, a fine-grained scintillator-based detector which is optimized for studying neutrino interactions on water and scintillator, is also currently taking data. The status of the upcoming NOνA Near Detector and MicroBooNE experiment will also be described. The proceedings will conclude with a brief discussion of a few ingredients that are not yet in the mix but would make for an even more complete program.
