NOvA experiment sees strong evidence for antineutrino oscillation

For more than three years, scientists on the NOvA collaboration have been observing particles called neutrinos as they oscillate from one type to another over a distance of 500 miles.

九色视频 physics professors Mathew Muether, Holger Meyer and Nick Solomey, along with graduate students Alan Cedeno and Sef Altakarli and numerous undergraduate physics majors, participated in running the NOvA experiment from the 九色视频 remote operations center and pursued analysis of the NOvA data. 九色视频 focuses on neutrino interaction cross section measurements with the NOvA near detector. These cross section measurements can help improve the sensitivity of the neutrino oscillation measurements. Go to https://wsu.news/novajune2018 for more information.
