Measuring neutrino and antineutrino interactions in the NOvA Near Detector

NOvA is an accelerator-neutrino experiment that utilizes a liquid-scintillator tracking-calorimeter Near Detector (ND) that is approximately 1 km from the production target. Based on its composition and off-axis position with respect to the accelerator beam, the ND can measure neutrino interactions which predominantly occur within the nuclei of hydrocarbons at a narrow-band of energies around 2 GeV. Furthermore, the detector can observe interactions involving both muon neutrinos and electron neutrinos, as well as iterations involving muon antineutrinos and electron antineutrinos. The status and results of various NOvA ND interaction studies will be presented.
