Electron neutrino appearance in the NOvA experiment
Abstract
NOvA is an off-axis, two-detector experiment studying neutrino oscillations with the ν(µ) beam from Fermilab. This paper describes the νe appearance analysis, including data-driven constraints from Near Detector measurements. The data set corresponds to an exposure equivalent to 6.05 × 1020 protons-on-target in the Far Detector. Here, we observed 33 νe candidates with a predicted background of 8.2 ± 0.8 (syst.), for a significance of appearance higher than 8σ. Preliminary results for the allowed values of δCP and θ 23 in both hierarchies are presented.
