Search for active-sterile antineutrino mixing using neutral-current interactions with the NOvA experiment

M. A. Acero, P. Adamson, L. Aliaga +196

This Letter reports results from the first long-baseline search for sterile antineutrinos mixing in an accelerator-based antineutrino-dominated beam. The rate of neutral-current in…

Monte Carlo method for constructing confidence intervals with unconstrained and constrained nuisance parameters in the NOvA experiment

M. A. Acero, B. Acharya, P. Adamson +218

Measuring observables to constrain models using maximum-likelihood estimation is fundamental to many physics experiments. Wilks' theorem provides a simple way to construct confiden…

Search for Slow Magnetic Monopoles with the NOvA Detector on the Surface

NOvA Collaboration, M. A. Acero, P. Adamson +196

We report a search for a magnetic monopole component of the cosmic-ray flux in a 95-day exposure of the NOvA experiment's Far Detector, a 14 kt segmented liquid scintillator detect…

Extended search for supernova-like neutrinos in NOvA coincident with LIGO/Virgo detections

M. A. Acero, P. Adamson, L. Aliaga +200

A search is performed for supernova-like neutrino interactions coincident with 76 gravitational wave events detected by the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration. For 40 of these events, full r…

Measurement of the Nucleus Charged-Current Double-Differential Cross Section at 2.4 GeV using NOvA

M. A. Acero, P. Adamson, L. Aliaga +212

The inclusive electron neutrino charged-current cross section is measured in the NOvA near detector using protons-on-target (POT) in the NuMI beam. The sample o…

Supernova neutrino detection in NOvA

NOvA Collaboration, M. A. Acero, P. Adamson +199

The NOvA long-baseline neutrino experiment uses a pair of large, segmented, liquid-scintillator calorimeters to study neutrino oscillations, using GeV-scale neutrinos from the Ferm…
