Dual-Baseline Search for Active-to-Sterile Neutrino Oscillations in NOvA
The NOvA Collaboration
We report a search for neutrino oscillations to sterile neutrinos under a model with three active and one sterile neutrinos (3+1 model). This analysis uses the NOvA detectors expos…

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…

The Design and Construction of the Chips Water Cherenkov Neutrino Detector
B. Alonso Rancurel, N. Angelides, G. Augustoni +64
CHIPS (CHerenkov detectors In mine PitS) was a prototype large-scale water Cherenkov detector located in northern Minnesota. The main aim of the R&D project was to demonstrate that…
