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 () disappearance and () appearance combined results using the first NOvA anti-neutrino beam data. In the far detector, 18 candidate events are observed, with a significance of appearance more than 4 . The NOvA results favor a normal neutrino mass hierarchy.
