Title: Measuring neutrino oscillation parameters with the NOvA experiment
Speaker: Erika Catano-Mur
Abstract: Long-baseline accelerator neutrino experiments hold the key to unlocking fundamental questions in particle physics: How are the neutrino masses ordered? Do neutrinos and antineutrinos oscillate differently? Is the three-flavor picture of neutrino mixing complete? Fermilab’s NOvA experiment distinguishes itself as one of only two such experiments currently operating worldwide addressing these questions, alongside its Japanese counterpart T2K. Both will continue leading the field for several years, paving the way for the next-generation experiments. This seminar will delve into NOvA's unique capabilities, its recent findings on neutrino oscillations, and the exciting prospects for the future, including the upcoming joint analysis with T2K.
