Content
A review of the most recent results from the NOvA experiment on neutrino oscillations.
Summary
As an accelerator-based long-baseline neutrino experiment with two functionally equivalent detectors, NOvA is designed to study neutrino oscillations, aiming to improve our understanding on the ordering of neutrino masses, the octant of the atmospheric neutrino mixing angle, and the violation of the CP symmetry, thus advancing on the determination of the mixing parameters describing the standard 3-flavor neutrino oscillations. In addition, NOvA has been also capable to look for signals of new physics and constrain the parameters governing possible beyond- standard neutrino oscillation phenomena, like non-standard interactions with matter and the existence of sterile neutrinos. After a description of the NOvA experiment, in this talk, I will present recent results from NOvA on standard and non-standard oscillations.
