SUMMARY:Studying Neutrino Oscillations at NOvA: From Experimental Desi
gn to Pioneering Analysis\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\
, Alexander Radovic\, William and Mary
DESCRIPTION:The observation of neutrino oscillations provides evidence
of physics beyond the standard model\, and the precise measurement of
those oscillations remains an important goal for the field of particl
e physics. NOνA is one of the foremost experiments in that field. Tak
ing advantage of a two-detector technique\, a tightly focused off-axis
view of the NuMI neutrino beam\, and a pair of finely instrumented li
quid scintillator detectors\, NOνA is in a prime position to contribu
te to precision measurements of the neutrino mass splitting\, mass hie
rarchy\, and CP violation.
\n
\nThis presentation will describ
e the goals and design of the NOνA experiment\, and outline how the c
utting edge tools of the Deep Learning community are being used to pus
h the limits of that design. The latest oscillation results will be sh
own\, along with a guide to what to expect from NOvA in the coming yea
rs.
