Description
NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment that studies the accelerator-produced neutrino beam from the NuMI facility at Fermilab. With a near detector located close to the beam source and a far detector situated 810 km downstream, NOvA measures muon-neutrino disappearance and electron-neutrino appearance in both neutrino and antineutrino mode operation. A combined analysis of these channels enables precision measurements of the mass-squared splitting $\Delta m^2_{32}$ and the mixing angle $\theta_{23}$, while providing sensitivity to the neutrino mass ordering and potential Charge–Parity violation in the lepton sector.
Using ten years of data, NOvA has recently reported the most precise single-experiment measurement of $\Delta m^2_{32}$ to date and demonstrated the impact of combining reactor and long-baseline measurements on the neutrino mass ordering. In this poster, we summarize the results of NOvA’s three-flavor oscillation analysis and present updated projections for the experiment’s future sensitivity. These results position NOvA to deliver improved constraints on oscillation parameters through the completion of data taking and to provide complementary input to the global neutrino oscillation program.
