Description
NOvA is a long-baseline, accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiment, optimized for electron neutrino measurements. It utilizes the upgraded, Megawatt-capable NuMI beam from Fermilab to measure electron-neutrino appearance and muon-neutrino disappearance at its Far Detector in Ash River, Minnesota. NOvA's goals include resolving the neutrino mass hierarchy problem, constraining the CP-violating phase, and determining the octant of theta23.
This talk will present NOvA's latest oscillation analyses and results based on the full ten-year dataset collected between 2013 and 2023, including both combined and independent fits to muon-(anti)neutrino disappearance and electron-(anti)neutrino appearance data. Combined with constraints from reactor neutrino experiments, the new results further strengthen the preference for the normal mass ordering.
