Description

NOvA is a two-detector, long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment located at Fermilab, Batavia, IL, USA. It is primarily designed to constrain neutrino oscillation parameters using muon neutrino (anti-neutrino) disappearance data and electron neutrino (anti-neutrino) appearance data. NOvA detects neutrinos from Fermilab’s Neutrinos at Main Injector (NuMI) beamline. The unoscillated muon neutrino and beam $\nu_e$ events are observed by the NOvA Near Detector (ND), which is 100m underground and at a distance of 1km from the beam source. The Far Detector (FD), situated 809 km from the ND, is in Ash River, MN, USA, and observes $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_e$ events after oscillations.

Traditionally, NOvA has used $\nu_e$ events in the energy range $1
