Description

The NOvA Experiment is a new accelerator based, long baseline, neutrino oscillation experiment which is beginning construction at Fermilab. NOvA is designed to probe with new precisions and sensitivities the theta_13 and theta_23 mixing angles of the PMNS matrix, while simultaneously having significant sensitivity to the CP violating phase delta and resolution of the neutrino mass hierarchy. The experimental sensitivities of NOvA, as wells as the advances in the experimental design of the NOvA detectors and the overall project status will be presented.
