Description
NOvA is a 14 KTon long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment currently
being installed in the NUMI off-axis neutrino beam produced at Fermilab.
A 222 Ton prototype NOvA detector (NDOS) was built and
operated in the neutrino beam for over a year to understand the the
response of the detector and its construction. Muon neutrino interaction
data collected in this test are being analyzed to identify quasi-elastic
charge-current interactions and measure the behavior of the Quasi-elastic
muon neutrino cross section. The status of these
quasi-elastic studies in NDOS will be shown.
