Description
SciNOvA is a proposed experiment to deploy a fine-grained scintillator detector
in front of the NOvA near detector to collect neutrino-nucleus scattering events
in the NUMI, off-axis, narrow-band neutrino beam at Fermilab. This detector
can make unique contributions to the measurement of charged- and neutral-current
quasi-elastic scattering; and neutral-current $\pi^0$ and photon production. These
processes are important to understand for fundamental physics and as backgrounds
to measurements of electron neutrino appearance oscillations. The talk will present
the strategy and science case of the SciNOvA experiment.
