NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment that measures oscillations in charged-current $\nu_{\mu} \rightarrow \nu_{\mu}$ (disappearance) and $\nu_{\mu} \rightarrow \nu_{e}$ (appearance) channels, and their antineutrino…
The physics goals of NOvA are the constraints of neutrino oscillation parameters such as the octant of $\theta_{23}$, $\delta_{\rm{CP}}$, and the neutrino mass hierarchy via a joint fit to $\nu_{\mu}$ and $\nu_{e}$ oscillation spectrum. We…
Neutrino physics is nowadays receiving more and more attention as a possible source of information for the long--standing investigation of new physics beyond the Standard Model. The rather recent measurement of the third mixing angle…

Precisely measuring $\theta_{13}$ is one of the highest priority in neutrino oscillation study. Reactor experiments can cleanly determine $\theta_{13}$. Past reactor neutrino experiments are reviewed and status of next precision…
