Description
The NOvA long-baseline neutrino experiment consists of two highly
active, finely segmented, liquid scintillator detectors located 14
mrad off Fermilab's NuMI beam axis, with a Near Detector located at
Fermilab, and a Far Detector located 810 km from the target at Ash
River, MI.
The experiment is sensitive to the muon neutrino disappearance
parameters sin^2(theta_23) and delta m^2_(32) through the measurement
of the modulation of the muon neutrino spectrum between the Near and
Far Detectors.
This talk will present a discussion of the systematic uncertainties
associated with with the analysis of data collected to date, and the methods developed to predict the Far Detector spectrum as extrapolated from the observed Near Detector data.
