Status and Future Sensitivities from the $\nu_{\mu}$ Disappearance Analysis in the NOvA Experiment

ORAL

Abstract

The NOvA experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment based out of Fermilab. It uses the newly upgraded NuMI beam line with two liquid scintillator detectors, one at Fermilab and a second 14 kton detector in northern Minnesota. The $\nu_{\mu}$ disappearance analysis can significantly improve the world's best measurement of $sin^{2}(2\theta_{23})$. Presented here is the status of this analysis as well as future sensitivities.
