NOνA is a second generation, long-baseline, neutrino oscillation experiment that uses the NuMI beam, the world’s most powerful neutrino beam, from Fermilab. It consists of two functionally similar, finely segmented, liquid scintillator calorimeter detectors that operate 809 km apart, 14 mrad off-axis from the beam. NOνA’s main physics goals include measuring electron (anti)neutrino appearance...

NOvA consists of two detectors, one at Fermilab, and the second 810km away in northern Minnesota. The experiment uses Fermilab's NuMI beam to measure the νμ to νe oscillation probability in order to learn more about the neutrino mass hierarchy, mixing angles, and CP violation in the neutrino sector. As with any large experiment, there are many components that need to operate smoothly to...

NOvA (NuMI Off-axis νe Appearance) is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment designed to search for both νe appearance and νμ disappearance. Fermilab NuMI (Neutrinos at Main Injector) facility produces an intense neutrino beam (narrow band νμ beam peaked at 2 GeV in energy) colliding 120 GeV protons from the Main Injector into a long target with a set of two magnetic horns (Horn1 and...

NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment consisting of a near and far detector, both comprising layers of orthogonal scintillator-filled PVC extrusions. Reconstructing hits along the orthogonal views provides 3D tracks, and scintillation light provides calorimetry important for determining the visible hadronic energy of an interaction. Selecting muon tracks which stop inside the...

NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment that is designed to probe the neutrino mass hierarchy and mixing structure. It uses two functionally identical liquid scintillator detectors 14mrad off-axis from the NuMI beamline at Fermilab, allowing a tightly focused neutrino flux peaked at around 2 GeV. The Near Detector is located 100 m underground and is used to characterize the...

NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment based at Fermilab that uses two highly active liquid scintillator detectors located off-axis of the NuMI beam.
Latest results have excluded maximal mixing at $2.6\sigma$ via the
muon-neutrino disappearance channel, which use fully contained interactions of the type $\nu_{\mu} + X \to \mu + X'$.
We explore potential improvement of...

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.These two functionally identical liquid scintillator calorimeters are 14 mrad off-axis from the beam, providing a neutrino flux narrowly peaked at around 2 GeV. NOvA measures the rate of $\nu_{e}$ ...

The majority of neutrino oscillation experiments have obtained evidence for neutrino oscillations that are compatible with the three-flavor model. Explaining the apparent neutrino flavor change observed in short-baseline experiments such as LSND and MiniBooNE in terms of neutrino oscillations requires the existence of sterile neutrinos.
The search for sterile neutrino mixing conducted in...

The MINOS experiment ran from 2003 until 2012 and produced some of the best precision measurements of the atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameters $\Delta m^2_{32}$ and $\theta_{23}$ using muon neutrino disappearance of beam and atmospheric neutrinos and electron neutrino appearance of beam neutrinos. The MINOS+ experiment succeeded MINOS in September 2013. For almost three years MINOS+...

Based on the premise that the neutrino beam used in DUNE traverses the Earth’s crust on its journey from being produced until detection, we propose a non-standard interaction (NSI) between the neutrinos and the matter of the Earth’s crust. Such NSI can cause the change of the flavor and change the energy of the neutrinos. The phenomenon of the flavor oscillations that we know can produce...

The Long Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) will use high energy protons impinging on a graphite target to produce kaons and pions, which will be focused by a set of magnetized focusing horns and directed into a decay pipe where they will decay, producing an intense neutrino beam. The neutrino energy spectrum can be tuned by changing a variety of parameters in the beamline such as horn and...

Neutrino physics is entering the liquid argon era, and these experiments
offer large statistics with excellent reconstruction abilities.
The wealth of information available opens new opportunities
to break degenaracies between different sources of systematic uncertainty
by simultaneously fitting samples selected for different final state topologies.
At near detectors, use of many such...
