Results and Prospects from NOvA

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2018-12-27 v1 Instrumentation and Detectors

Abstract

NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino experiment that uses an upgraded NuMI neutrino source at Fermilab and a 14-kton detector at Ash River, Minnesota. The detector has a highly active, finely segmented design that offers superb event identification capability. This talk presents the latest νμ\nu_\mu (νˉμ\bar{\nu}_\mu) disappearance and νe\nu_e (νˉe\bar{\nu}_e) appearance combined results using the first NOvA anti-neutrino beam data. In the far detector, 18 νˉe\bar{\nu}_e candidate events are observed, with a significance of νˉe\bar{\nu}_e appearance more than 4 σ\sigma. The NOvA results favor a normal neutrino mass hierarchy.
