Probing Neutrino Oscillation Physics with the NOvA Experiment

The NOvA experiment is a long-baseline accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiment that uses a beam of neutrinos and two detectors separated by an 810 km baseline to observe muon neutrino disappearance and electron neutrino appearance. Results from this experiment have the potential to answer some of the exciting remaining questions in neutrino physics: the mass hierarchy, the theta-23 octant, and CP violation in the neutrino sector. This talk will introduce these questions, cover current NOvA oscillation results, and explain the potential reach for the experiment with its full data set.
