DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. PHAN-BUDD\, Sarah (Argonne National Laboratory)\
 nNOvA\, or NuMI Off-Axis ve Appearance experiment\, is a long baseline neu
 trino experiment using an off-axis beam produced by the main injector (NuM
 I) neutrino beamline at Fermilab. The experiment is designed to study muon
  neutrino to electron neutrino oscillations. It consists of two PVC and li
 quid scintillator detectors and a beamline upgrade. The large far detector
  weighs 15 kTon and will be located in Ash River\, Minnesota\, 810 km from
  NuMI. The smaller\, 222 Ton near detector will be located underground at 
 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Each detector consists of planes of
  PVC extrusions containing liquid scintillator and wavelength shifting fib
 er. The PVC extrusions are made using a formula specially designed for hig
 h reflectivity\, ease of extrusion and tensile qualities. Custom extrusion
  dies and extruding procedures have been created to ensure a uniform produ
 ct that holds to strict dimensional and material tolerances. The construct
 ion of the NOvA near detector on the surface (NDOS) extrusions will be pre
 sented\, addressing the challenges of creating physics quality PVC extrusi
 ons and the QA techniques used to ensure that quality. Finally\, preparati
 ons for construction of the far detector will be discussed.\n\nhttp://indi
