Abstract:
The NOνA long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment has just completed its initial data run and the analysis of that data. This run constitutes about 8% of the planned data. The first run resulted in a measurement of the oscillation of muon neutrinos into two modes. One the disappearance of muon neutrinos, the 2-3 oscillation, and the other the appearance of electron neutrinos, the 1-3 oscillation. In addition to describing the results and their impact on the neutrino mass ordering and CP violation, I will describe the construction and design of this unique 14 kiloton detector.
