Description
NOvA, located at Fermilab, is a long-baseline accelerator-based neutrino experiment designed to study electron (anti)neutrino appearance and muon (anti)neutrino disappearance. The experiment employs two liquid scintillator detectors separated by 809 km: an underground Near Detector placed 1 km from the beam source to analyze the initial beam, and a Far Detector located in Minnesota placed on the surface. With these detectors, NOvA is probing key questions in neutrino physics, including the mass ordering, CP violation in the lepton sector, the mixing angle $\theta_{23}$, and the mass-squared difference $\Delta m^2_{32}$. This talk will highlight NOvA’s latest oscillation results, incorporating an expanded dataset, refined analysis methods, and improved systematic uncertainty evaluations.
