Newest 3-Flavor Neutrino Oscillation Results from NOvA
ORAL · Invited
Abstract
NOvA is a long-baseline accelerator neutrino experiment based at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory observing the appearance of electron (anti)neutrinos and disappearance of muon (anti) neutrinos. The experiment consists of two functionally identical liquid scintillator detectors; a 14 kton Far Detector is situated 810 km from the beam source, while a smaller Near Detector is only 1 km from the source and samples initial beam composition consisting of primarily muon (anti)neutrinos. Through these observations NOvA is probing outstanding questions in neutrino physics including the neutrino mass ordering and leptonic CP violation along with the θ23 neutrino mixing angle and the larger neutrino mass splitting Δm232. This talk will present the most recent neutrino oscillation results, which include a larger dataset, new analysis techniques, and updated systematic uncertainties.
