Prabhjot Singh: “The NOvA Experiment and Neutrino Oscillations”

Monday 11 Oct 2021, 16:00 → 17:00 Europe/London

This talk presents the analyses and results of the ν_μ → ν_μ disappearance and ν_μ → ν_e appearance due to neutrino oscillations using data collected by the NOvA experiment. NOvA is an accelerator-based, long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment and uses the two-detector set-up to study the phenomenon of neutrino oscillation using a beam of muon neutrinos produced at Fermilab. The combined oscillation fit to the ν_μ → ν_μ disappearance and ν_μ → ν_e appearance gives the best fit values of the ∆m²₃₂, sin²θ₃₂ and δ_CP oscillation parameters.
