NOvA 6E20 POT appearance and disappearance results published in PRL.

NOvA’s latest appearance and disappearance results, corresponding to 6.05E20 POT) have been submitted for publication. Both results are posted to the HEP archives ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/1701.05891.pdf and https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.03328.pdf ). The results utilize the first two years of neutrino (forward horn current) operation. The appearance results show a slight preference for normal mass hierarchy and delta_CP around 3/2 pi.

The disappearance results disfavor maximal mixing (sin^2(2theta_23)) at 2.6 sigma.
