Description
The NOvA experiment is a long baseline neutrino osciallation experiment utilizing the NuMI beam at Fermilab. The experiment will measure the oscillations of the primarily muon neutrino beam using two functionally-identical, liquid scintillator tracking calorimeter detectors placed 810 km apart and 14 milliradians off-axis to the NuMI beam. The cellular detector design allows for multiple sampling of particle energy depositions. These measurements provide input to particle identification and neutrino signal selection algorithms.Additionally, the presice energy measurment of neutrino interactions increases the sensitivity to the oscillation parameters measuered. The methods used in energy estimation and their impact on neutrino event reconstruction will be presented.
