Description
NOvA is a long-baseline experiment studying neutrino oscillations and measuring cross sections in the Fermilab NuMI neutrino beam. It consists of two functionally identical, fine-grained detectors which are separated by 810 km and situated 14.6 mrad off the NuMI beam axis. By measuring the transition probabilities $P(\nu_\mu → \nu_e)$ and $P(\nu_μ → \nu_μ)$ using both neutrinos and antineutrinos, NOvA is able to probe the following neutrino-mixing parameters: $∆m^2_{32}$, the mixing angle $θ_{23}$, the CP-violating phase $δ_{CP}$ and the neutrino mass hierarchy. We present the latest NOvA measurements using neutrino and antineutrino disappearance and appearance obtained in 2020.
