Description

NOvA is a two detector, long baseline, neutrino oscillation experiment utilizing the NuMI beamline at Fermilab to study neutrino oscillations through muon (anti)neutrino disappearance and electron (anti)neutrino appearance. NOvA's primary goals are to make determinations of the neutrino mass hierarchy and the octant of ${\theta}_{23}$, and to measure possible CP violation. Along with standard three flavor neutrino oscillations, NOvA data is used to study cross sections in the near detector, neutrino oscillations beyond the three flavor framework such as sterile neutrinos and non-standard interactions, along with other exotic neutrino interactions from astrophysical sources including supernovae. I will provide an overview of the NOvA detectors, share some current results from the experiment, and discuss the future of NOvA operations and analyses.
