Description
Abstract This talk presents the analyses and results of the νμ → νμ disappearance and νμ → νe appearance due to neutrino oscillations using 8.85 × 1020 protons on target (POT) equivalent of data collected by the NOvA experiment. NOvA is an accelerator-based, long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment and uses the two-detector set-up to study the phenomenon of neutrino oscillation using a beam of muon neutrinos produced at Fermilab. The combined oscillation fit to the νμ → νμ disappearance and νμ → νe appearance gives the best fit values of the ∆m232, sin2θ32 and δCP oscillation parameters.

About the speaker: Prabhjot did his PhD on the NOvA experiment jointly from University of Delhi, India and Fermilab, USA. At Fermilab, Prabhjot was involved in calibration of the detectors and the oscillation analysis of the data collected by the experiment. Before joining QMUL, Prabhjot was a postdoc at University of Delhi for one year working on the non-standard interactions of neutrinos. At QMUL, he is working on the NOvA and DUNE experiments with Dr. Linda Cremonesi for the neutrino cross-section and DUNE Near Detector HPTPC.
