NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment that uses an upgraded NuMI beam from Fermilab. The two functionally similar, high sampling, liquid scintillator calorimeters are 14 mrad off-axis from the beam, providing a neutrino flux narrowly peaked at around 2 GeV. One of the main physics goals of the experiment is to study the electron (anti)neutrino appearance in a muon...

NOvA is an accelerator-based, long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment designed to probe the mass hierarchy and mixing structure of the neutrino sector. The experiment consists of a at Fermilab and a far detector 810 km away in northern Minnesota positioned to receive neutrinos from Fermilab's NuMI beam. In order for NOvA to measure neutrino oscillations, these two detectors must have...

NOvA, a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment at Fermilab, is designed to measure $\nu_{e}$ appearance and $\nu_{\mu}$ disappearance rates in the NuMI beam. NOvA comprises two finely segmented liquid scintillator detectors at 14 mrad off-axis in the NuMI beam. Taking advantage of a tightly focused off-axis view of the NuMI neutrino beam, and a finely instrumented liquid scintillator...

NOvA is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment at Fermilab. It uses two detectors, the near detector at Fermilab and the far detector at a distance of 810 km at Ash River, Minnesota. NOvA measures the rate of $\nu_{e}$ appearance at the far detector in the $\nu_{\mu}$ beam produced by the NuMI facility at Fermilab. Neutrino interactions with a $\pi^{0}$ in the final state are the...

The anomalous electron antineutrino excess appearing in muon antineutrino beams seen by the LSND and MiniBooNE experiments can be explained by oscillations between the three known active neutrinos and new sterile neutrino flavors with masses near 1eV. If these light sterile neutrinos exist, they would open a brand new sector in physics, not predicted by the Standard Model.
NOvA is a...
